I might tend to agree with that statement if I saw even the slightest indication that education in this area was taking place. However, I see the exact opposite. Many bow shops workers don't even know how to spine tune an arrow. Walk into 10 of them and quizz them on KE vs momentum and see what you get. So, who's going to educate the average bowhunter?

All I hear is speed, speed and more speed. It's difficult at best to get even seasoned bowhunters to listen to the benefits of heavy arrows, much less getting them to try them.

I wouldn't worry too much about any regulations being affected in favor of heavier arrows. It appears that the speed merchants are more effective at lobbying the state game departments (ie Idaho). For me, getting regulations to force heavier arrow usage, is just wishful thinking.
