RE: Who said that physics wasn't fun?
passthru,
I don't know how else to put it so you can understand. I didn't say you wouldn't have to use a heavier arrow. I said you wouldn't have to use a heavy arrow. 400 grains is not heavy. It may be heavier, but it is still very light. Many hunting regulations stipulate minimums and for good reason. I happen to think Arthur's idea for a minimum arrow weight is a good idea. Kind of like regulations saying you should use a minimum of 35 lb draw weight, or must be capable of propelling an arrow 300', or broadheads must be a minimum of 7/8" at the widest point.
We are saying that a minimum arrow weight for hunting big game would be a good idea. Overall, it would benefit hunters in that those without the best tuning skills or experience, would have an overall better performing arrow.
Like I said earlier, it's an idea that I support, but not one that I expect to be enacted. The resistance to restricting speed is so overwhelming that I'm sure it won't be. I still support the idea.
