RE: Who said that physics wasn't fun?
Sorry, I was out golfing today and just got back. So, I'm reading and again I see the same stuff over and over and over. A heavier arrow does not kill quicker than a lighter one. Period. Hit in the vitals with either one it is dead.
Also, I bullet can kill instantly. The bullet disrupts the electrical sysstem to the heart and shut the animal off like a switch.
And of course people kill deer all the time with .22 while poaching.How many of the deer shot by poachers are never found because the deer runs away? I've had deer drop faster with my arrows than with a .35 or .308. So, I guess my arrows kill pretty efficiently in my eyes.
As for judging distance I'm talking about the same guys that do not want to practice. Not the guys that know distance from shooting. Range finders for deer to me are cheating when it comes to archery. You are not going to be in a position every time to use one and if you do not develope the skills to judge distance on your own you are screwed.
You know what. You guys are right. Nobody kills deer with my equipment. And only your arrows go thru a deers bones. My arrow has no chance eve nthough it goes thru just about everything that is harder than a live bone full of marrow. Steel doesn'rt count, particle board doesn't count, bullet resistant plexy glass doesn't count. Heck, even deer that us guys that use lighter stuff doesn't count.
