Bottom line is this, you guys are arguing a mute ( or is it moot?) point. Really all you are arguing is far in the ground the arrow sticks after a pass through, so why not go for the most speed that one can comfortably, and I do emphasize comfortably, shoot. And who ever got the idea that carbons are more expensive nowdays anyway, I can get them all day long for 5 to 7 dollars each, depending on the brand. The thing that is WAY more important than all this nonsense is how sharp the broadhead is! That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
