You know what they say about ALWAYS![8D]
Yes I do, and sometimes ALWAYS is the correct term. Just as force is ALWAYS a function of mass and acceleration, and trajectory is ALWAYS a function of velocity and g, bow efficiency is ALWAYS an increasing function of arrow mass and therefore, ke/momentum always ALWAYS increase as you increase the mass of the arrow. The increase may be small but it will ALWAYS be an increase. As I said before, it's fundamental mechanics. Don't take my word for it, there are plenty of books and internet sites where you can find out for yourself.
Have a great day!
I don't need a Book to tell me my Airborne 82 produces more KE shooting a 400 grain arrow than it does while shooting a 500 grain arrow. I weighed the arrows, shot them through my Chrono, and run the figures through the calculator.
Then I double checked them for accuracy.
It is a fact if you don't want to believe it, that's your choice
When I dropped to a 340 grain arrow KE dropped slightly as you would expect. I guess my Airborne forgot to read the Book[8D]

Probably hit the "sweet" spot for your bow!
