Here is something for you guys to think of, speed and arrow weight both react in the same manner when it comes to KE.

Take a 350 grain arrow shooting at 310 feet per second, that is going to get roughly 75 foot pounds of kenetic energy.

Take a 450 grain arrow shooting at 275 feet per second, that is going to get roughly 75 foot pounds of kenetic energy.

This doesn' t work on the extreme fast/slow/light/heavy ends, but for normaly use, if you use a ligther arrow that shoots faster, you will get the same KE as a heavier arrow shooting slower.

Also, who the heck really cares? I am pretty sure that the deer don' t give a crap as to wether or not it is a heavy/light carbon/aluminum arrow going through them.

Shot placement is more important than any KE/arrow weight/speed/blah blah blah. These topics amuse me.

O yeah guys, here is something for you to discuss....... if you want something to talk about, talk about the set-up that I will be using with my new MightyMite.

2003 BowTech MightyMite (70# draw weight - 30" draw length). I will be shooting 31" Beman ICS Hunter 400 Carbon Arrows. The total arrow weight with my broadhead will be 394.4 grains. This arrow weight will give me around 303 feet per second speeds. Now, my arrow weight and speed combination will give me a KE of 80 foot pounds. Guess what, thats legal for African Game. Now, discuss.......
