Good article. The only factor that was not really addressed in the article is the ability of smaller diameter arrows to penetrate better than fatter arrows. From what I have gathered, arrows like the Axis and A/C Super Slims can penetrate like a standard diameter shaft weighing at least 100 grains more. And still offer the relative benefits of speed offered in a lighter shaft. Have your cake and eat it too?
Makes sense for field point tipped arrows but what about broadheads when the shaft is following through a 1"+ hole lubricated by body fluids? I don't buy it. (Even though I am shooting A/C Superslims that gimmick wasn't part of my choice.)
