Well, I think mine and Arthur's adds up to about 90 years - does that mean we win?

Personally, I don't care if you have 300 years experience. Ashby practically does this as a job. More importantly, he carefully records setups, penetration and results. Then, he plots the data and comes up with conclusions based on science, not off the top-of-his-head feelings. A study like his trumps anecdotal heresay - everytime. Success can be acheived with less than ideal setups on small game like whitetails, especially when you don't hit major bones. No one has ever said you can't be successful with light-arrow setups. It's just that heavy-arrow, high-FOC setups have proven to penetrate better in more situations. They are also much more forgiving with drive-by bowhunters who don't have a clue. So yes, we can argue with success.
