RE: Penetration Target Lies

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
I do have a question concerning beprepn`s last statement though.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> I plan to replace my bow with a 70# bow and shoot heavy enough arrows that I get good flight out of fixed broadheads - probably about 560 grains to keep the speed below 250fps.

Does this mean that fixed blade heads such as my thunderhead 125gr. will not fly accurately at much higher speeds than 250fps?

I don't know. Others have suggested that mechanicals are better over 250fps. These discussions have convinced me that with a current technology bow, that we have some penetration to burn such that I'm willing to go a little lighter then I would have a month ago. 250fps seemed like a nice compromise. If I remember right, the thunderheads have a profile that looks like it would be unlikely to plane.
