RE: Penetration Target Lies
Where I draw the line with light arrow carbon shooters and say they are wrong is when they start spouting that their way is THE way. Like the peanut head on this very forum that told me once that I am UNETHICAL because I don't shoot carbon and mechanicals at least 270 fps!
Light and fast is only ONE way. Wood arrows out of selfbows is another. There are a whole bunch of ways in between and they all work. At least as long as the jerk on the string does what he's supposed to.
Everyone knows my preference and it ain't light and fast. It doesn't include releases and sights either, and rarely involves wheels on my limbs any more. Too much work involved in that stuff and I don't need ANY of it to consistently make clean killing shots on deer and hogs out to 25-30 yards anyway.
Until I find a carbon arrow that weighs out around 600 grains, doesn't cost a year's salary, doesn't take a team of mules to pull out of a target and flies straight with a good, sharp Magnus broadhead on it, it's wood and aluminum arrows for me.
