As far as setting up for a marginal shot; that' s a ridiculous idea. Why would you plan for something to go wrong? If you' re thinking it' s going to happen then it' s going to happen.

From what Newton told us about the laws of motion, it' s harder to stop a heavier object than it is a lighter object. Inertia is the quality of an object out of motion to stay out of motion, and an object in motion to stay in motion. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has. Therefore we can deduce that it would be harder to stop a heavier arrow down range than it would be a lighter arrow. Afterall, we aren' t trying to shoot deer at point blank ranges. As far as thin, light carbons, (and I don' t know a lot about them) I reckon they get their advantage because they' re thinner and they don' t flex as much as wood and aluminum.

Hey, Olink, I' d like to know how an animal is going to contract its muscles to pinch an arrow when your broadhead was supposed to have cut it. I didn' t know there was muscle in the lungs either. The majority of the chest cavity is going to be empty.
