the way i see it, your broadhead is going to cut a 1"+ diameter hole. unless your shooting a shaft bigger than your cutting diameter, i dont really see the super slim arrows to be much different...in terms of performance/penetration....thats just my thinking.
Exactly! And as far as the cross wind thing goes, I doubt you could even measure that under lab conditions much less in the real world. A little thumb pressure on the grip is going to effect point of impact more than the difference of air pressure exerted sideways on a cylinder between a .18" or a .23" diameter shaft over a 28" span. The sales pitch for thin shafts sounds good but it doesn't hold water in the real world.
