Dick,

I did see that one...even almost posted it for you but decided not to.....the reason why you ask. I do disagree that a truck hitting you at even 1mph will not bowl you over. I do agree though that a meat ball traveling at that high of a speed could and probably will inflict some serious damage. However our arrows are traveling no where near that ball park figure in difference....not even in a different ball park on the same block! or even city.

Well look at it as a blade of grass. I can pick one up and throw it at you, what happens, notta.

I can take a tornado and get that little blade of grass moving at some serious speed and quite possibly zip it through you.

Its exactly the same thing as that web page. However the speeds needed to achieve this a huge! one mile per second quite possibly could do this.

I have also seem some other pages that prove this and if I remember right they start talking about weight and the speed of light. It is relevant to its mass also. The higher the mass the less fast it needs to achieve to out penetrate.

I did however find one that proves what I was saying that you need both. And that there is at some point a minimal return of having to much mass or to much speed and actually had a number to go buy after you figure you stuff out for your own personal set up. Saying that X was the best of both worlds, anything higher or lower atleast at an extreme is back into the minimal gains department. Let me look the dang thing up again.

Now for the kicker on that web page. Take a look at the extremes for in which they are. 1000 times difference in KE and an exact even on Momentum. Now let me ask, are the two bows you and I shoot 1000 times different on KE? How about Momentum are we even close? probably not. In the bowhunting relm, probably not even close. Even the super light arrows coming out of Kriskens 340 some fps compound are not traveling twice as fast as my longbow and he is shooting at the very very top of the speed realm as we know it today coming out of archery gear today (thats if he is shooting through a chrono and not guessing, not to mention one that is showing an accurate reading to begin with). The differences are hardly a mac truck and a meat ball taveling at one Mile per Second! More to the tune of a knuckle ball and a fast ball in the major league. Or a wrist shot vs a one timer in the NHL. The problem is we are both not shooting exactly the same in mass so we have no constant!

I' ll dig up that web page here in a bit.....gotta get more arrows sealed.....
