RE: Who said that physics wasn't fun?
Thr problem is that you take his final word ass the gospil for shooting. He clearly states something like an extreme FOC carbon arrow out penetrates another one of the same weight and you only talk about how I need a 750 gr arrow to kill a deer. Furthermore, you can not compare a .22 to a bow.
A firearm uses the KE of the bullet to disrupt the bloodflow and nervous system of an animal to kill it. An arrow uses the ability to create a wound that will either bleed out, make the animal sufficate when the lungs fill up with blood, or you cut thru the heart killing the animal.
The reason that .22 LR, or .22Mag are not acceptable is they do not develope a KE that is sufficient for a humane kill. Will they kill an animal? Of course they will. But that doesn't mean it's right.
I'm sure you are talking about a .223, or 22/250. If you shot one with a .22 mag or smaller then I'm done listening to anything you have to say about what is acceptable for archery.
Even a light arrow will penetrate the body cavity and allow an arrow to do what it has been doing for thousands of years. Any pointed projectile for that matter is designed that way. The heavier arrow does not kill faster or make the animal more dead. That's rediculous to say and I'm sure even the heavy arrow advocates will agree with me on that one.
