Default RE: Penetration: weight vs. diameter

would it be possible to shoot each arrow with the same head? Or to test each of the two heads attached to the same arrow?
Yes I could, but that would open up another can of worms because the arrows are currently spined for the heads and if I swaped heads then I would have one arrow over spined and one under spined

Also, I'm not convinced that the penetration an arrow displays on a broadhead target necessarily indicates what could be expected on game; since almost all of these targets stop the arrow by exerting friction on the arrow shaft.

That is true and I totally agree but my tests where for mainly arrow flight and to see what the drop was between the 2 arrows I was expecting the heavy head to drop but was surprised when it didn't.Oh and the human element was taken out of the shooting

Got some hogs in your neighborhood ?
Unfortunately no I dont but I do plan on going after some again when the weather cools down.
