I personally like my 350 to 400 grain arrow setups.
I have shot heavy arrow setups in the past 40 years and saw nodistinct advantage
I need.
I get more than adequate penetration on all the animals
I have shot, and really could care less how bad
I wound the dirt on the other side.
Like I said, we're not referring to you. If the industry geared itself towards the heavier arrows with higher FOC, then the walmart arrows would be stiff enough to shoot a heavier head and the charts would show the spines for heavier heads and the stores wouldn't be stocked to the ceiling with 75 and 100 grain heads. The unprepared average bowhunter, wouldn't miss the mark by as much and their success rate would go up. Guys like you can try all you want to convince people that speed is better, and I will continue to put forth the argument that it is no advantage except to those who will not bother to know the distance, and even then, only on longer range shots - the ones they shouldn't even be taking. In every single other aspect of bowhunting, higher weight and very high FOC is a distinct advantage.
