Lest say that arrow mass is on the x axis (across) and momentum is on the y axis (up & down), what is the arrow mass at the peak of the curve? How hard can I hit 'em?
MAXIMUM KE, based on the rough numbers I'm using for your set-up would get you 114.51ft/# of KE w/ a 675gr arrow, the Momentum DOESN'T peak out on OT2, I get .93 slug/ft with a 999gr arrow, which is tops I can go to.
Alright, that is news to me. I believe you though. Now I just need to decide how much speed I need to sacrifice. I'm thinking that I want to shoot at about 300 FPS. You seemed to think that a 560 grain arrow would do that at 73#.

If I am shooting a 560 grain arrow, I would like to have the 185 grain Magnus Snuffers on there. What is the best shaft that can handle that head? I'm looking for 12%-15% FOC.
