I agree, but Arthur by God knows what he's talking about, and his view is certainly worth exploring. What I am about to say isn't meant negatively....The folks that grew up in the "old school" days of archery HAD to shoot big heavy arrows....No way around it. And with reason. Heavy arrows by golly carry more momentum, there's no arguing that.

But here's my point.....Today's compounds are SO efficient, it just isn't as necessary as it once was.....I am pulling 70 pounds, and kicking almost 79 pounds of KE....that's what, 110% or so? Go back just 10 years, if you had a bow hitting 85 or 90% you were kicking butt! Physics are physics, and the principles are the same.....BUT, 50 grains just isn't that much weight and coupled w/ the efficiency of today's compounds.....It wasa no brainer for me. I will say, though, that if I were hunting animals bigger than deer I would reconsider.....
