There is nothing at all wrong with a good debate. However, there is a lot wrong with making comments about regulating arrow weight just because one person doesn't agree with someone else. That is craming it down someone's throat on how they should think. For years it was all about KE and what you need to kill this or that. I'm amazed our ancestors were even able to survive with the equipment they had? Also, I have yet to find a momentum chart that states the minimum for different game. I guess that's why I'm trying to figure out what this whole debate is about in the first place. Show me a chart and then let's discuss. That's how it worked for KE for manyyears.There was a chart and people debated about it.Yes, a heavier arrow has more momentum.However,for a certain sized animal is there enough differencebetween a lighterarrow to matter if a person takes a well placed shot after many hours of practice. It seem like everyone is trying to find a short cut for practice.Person A doesn't shoot at all and then wounds an animal.Person B convinces him that if he had a heavier arrow he would have killed that deer instead of wounding it. Since last year after no practice he put an arrow thru the shoulder blade of a doe. Leaving out the fact that if person A would have practiced then the arrow weight would not have mattered.

It's nieve to think that anti's could not find a forum like this. But then state that they pay attention to the weight of the arrow a person used to shoot a deer.
