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

My brain hurts after skimming throu 28 pages of math equations and disagreements[&o].....

the way i see it is a bow thats rated at say 315fps IBO if i can shoot a 550 grain arrow and still be around 230fps (example...only guessing) im gonna go with the heavier arrow....people act like 220 is slow when it is not by any means.
when things get below 200 fps(have to drawthe line somewhere)you start to notice trajectory but anything over 200 fps is still damn fast and plenty flat shooting out to 30 yards...

i guess what im getting at is,
why not take full advantage of the benifits new compounds offer....if i can shoot a 550+ grain arrow and still get 220 thats what im gonna shoot, instead of a 360 grain arrow at say 265+...its kind of like the difference between a .22 and a .45

I'm not saying that very quick arrows dont kill but i like the heaviest arrow i can get without sacrafising too much speed (i like around 220fps)...and thats the biggest advantage of todays super efficient compounds, they can shoot heavy arrows very fast rather than puney arrows at warp speed....somehow i think the industry got confused about why these new compounds are so great...

besides shooting an arrow out of you compound thats at least8 grains per pound will help keep your bow shooting trouble free, quiet and penty quick for a long time.

if you stood 25 yards downrange and i shot an arrow at you coming out of the bow at 220fps .......Ill bet your not gonna be thinking... man that arrow is coming at me slow, look at that rainbow trajectory,..... my bow is faster......SMAAAAACK BLOOD SQUIRTING EVERYWHERE, MOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMY, WAAAAA WAAAA WAAAAAAAAA, JESUS WHY WHY WHY OHNO LOOK AT ALL THAT BLOOD COMING OUT OF MY CHEST CAVITY WHYYYYY GOD WHYYYYYYY.... I DONT WANNA DIE PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME PLAESE HLEP MI MA I GONEEEE NITEY NIGHT CANT CONROL CRAPTING MEE DRAEWERS SLEEP AAAAAAAA.[&o]
