Default RE: Who said that physics wasn't fun?

I understand the need for momentum, but it is just like KE. You can get momentum from speed, you just dont need as much speed to get the equal amount of momentum from a hevier arrow. Bigbulls statement is true, a heavier arrow does retain more energy and speed at longer distances. Most people blow the heavy arrow vs. light arrow way out of perportion. The way people see it is like getting hit with a wiffle ball compared to a bowling ball. The whole thing is dumb, a 365 grain arrow can do all that a 500 grain arrow can do but with flatter trajectory. As for bibulls comment, it is true but the way he is talking it sounds like he thinks Im shooting a 200 grain arrow trying to shoot threw a moose length ways.
