Hallj86, I am not being a **** but you don't seem to understand how a broadhead tipped arrow works.When a personposts that they have taken numerous physics classes in collegeandprocedes to tell us how a broadhead killsbyposting incorrect information people tend to call them on it.

There is no blunt force trauma associated with it. Broadheads are not striking the deer like a baseball bat, they are slicing through the deer. Just likewhen you cut yourself shaving... there is no blunt force trauma there, just an extremelyclean slice that bleedsfor hours.

No I do not want KE transfered to the deer at all. 40 - 80 foot pounds of KE is a very small ammmount andif thisvery small ammount of KEwas transfered to the animal like a bullet, bat, or even a blunt tipped arrowthen the broadhead would stop dead right about the first ribs and we would all be wounding these animals. The sufficient ammount of KE is there to assure that the broadhead gets through the animal far enough to cut enough vital tissue to cause massive hemmoraging. I want my broadheads as sharp as possible so that they slice very cleanly and effortless through the animal and transfer as little KE to the animal as possible. Most of the forces that actually slow or stop an arrow from passing through an animal have more to do with friction on the arrow shaft and fletchingsthan the transfer of KE to the animal.

Yes I am sure very very verysmall ammounts of KE get transfered to the animal but it is so miniscule that it is neglegable.
