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

Thanks for watching my back, TFOX.

Passthru and Dave, both of you have missed the point. So, AGAIN, and for the last time in this thread, here's what I'm saying. Four main points.

1) Light arrows work. Heavier arrows work better.
2) I have no problem with ultralight arrows, as long as: the person using them is knowledgeable enough to properly match and tuneall his equipment to make best use of them; if he knows enough about deer anatomy to know where to hit them; if he is skilled enough to properly place his shot; and if he's able to remain calm enough to properly execute the shot in real hunting conditions.
3) From my long term observations, the average bowhunter meets few, if any, of the criteria listed in #2.
4) Since education requires at least SOME effort on the part of the uneducated, and since trying to force additional education on them would result in a serious drop in numbers of bowhunters, then regulating minimum arrow weight would be the most practical way of giving the average bowhunter the best chance of making clean kills and reducing the overall wound/loss ratio.

That's it. Y'all have a nice Easter.
