RE: Penetration Target Lies

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>
I had a bunch of questions for you but then I thouht why bother, I like my set up just fine, and it kills deer dead.

One thing kinda stuck in my head.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>For penetrating targets, the smaller O.D. of carbons is usually a big advantage. That's the lie that the target is telling - carbons will not have the same advantage on a deer. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Where did you get this from? I thought you were just getting back into bowhunting after 15 years, so you aren't basing this statement on your own experience right?

From these threads - the consensus seems to be that carbons bury deeper in targets even though they are lighter. This needs to be explained if one believes as I do that momentum is more directly related to penetration than is KE. Joe Tappely did the explaining.
