Default RE: Heavy arrow, more KE....light arrow, more speed..??

So, if all these "gains" and "losses" are minimal, as it were, what's the big deal w/ shooting an arrow that weighs in at 370 as opposed to 425?? We all know it will produce enough KE to blow completely through.

Most 1 pin shooters will not take a 40 yard shot,the ones that will are sighted in at 30 and will hold high at 40 so thefast verses light arrow speed trajectory is still the same.A moot point at best.

I shoot one pin, and most certainly will take a 40 yard shot. Though I must admit, I have markers at every 10 yards from 20-70.......So I suppose in that aspect I shoot "multiple" pins.....

We are missing another aspect of this.....3D shooting. 1/2" in trajectory will make a huge difference as it pertains to score, and since I shoot target w/ my hunting rig, I'm going faster....and lighter with enough KE to do the job.
