" I cant remember the Last time I went cape buffulo hunting in new england. I agree the momentum factor is lost on a light arrow , I wasent here trying to claim the opening post covered all african game. "
Your presumption is that higher Ke automatically translates into better penetration. But then you want to dismiss animals that present the toughest resistance to penetration? Sorry, but your position falls flat at that point.
Whitetails aren' t exactly the litmus test of penetration. As a matter of fact, they' re probably one of the easiest of all big game animals to get an arrow through. If you want to talk penetration, then respectfully, you need to address animals that actually pose a challenge.
" As far as K.E. meaning little(?)....I dont know what to say about that comment"
Seeing as I' ve personally blown through more than a handful of whitetails with under 30# of Ke, I' d say it' s vastly overrated. Like I said...it sure sells a lot of bows every year though.
" As far as hunting in the U.S. with a bow that produces 82# not being enough."
Alright, forget Africa. Call a professional guide and tell him you want to hunt Alaskan moose or Kodiaks with that set-up of yours. Again...don' t take his laughing personally.
" Lets bring some common sence and honesty to the discussion and leave the heart felt mush for the magizine' s."
Didn' t you close your first post with..." What else is there to say?.......SPEED KILLS!" ? Hmmmmmmmm..... [

You can' t pretend to debate an absolute, then sluff off that which refutes your claim. [:-]
