Face it if you don't take time to set either a light or heavy arrow setup properly it will not perform as intended.
Light arrow not tuned properly vs heavy arrow not tuned properly.... Neither will perform as intended, but which has the better chance of achieving adequate penetration to make a kill? The heavier arrow, of course. IMO, anything that gives the weekend warrior bowhunter a better chance of making a kill vs wounding and losing an animal, and decreasing bowhunting's overall wound/loss ratio, is a good thing. That is why I push the idea of establishing a minimum legal arrow weight of 400 grains. And I admit that is a solid 50 grains lighter than I'd like to see.
I was going to mention your product and my suspicion about your motives on pushing light arrow setups so hard, but I scanned the sponsors list and noticed you aren't on it.
You have so much experience you tell me. I've had guys come in the shop shooting 2219's, 2317's that were practically hitting the target sideways. I doubt performance would differ if the arrow weighed 100 grains less. Arthur how many animals have you shot with arrows weighing less than 400 grains?
