Well, it appears that Len wants to sum up this thread by giving his " spin" and " bottom line" conclusion. So, here is mine.

The skill level of Bob Ragsdale or his ability to own several bows and a truckload of accessories has nothing to do with the price of tea!!!

Bob is answering questions posed by (mostly) average and inexperienced shooters. He is giving advice that he firmly believes ANY shooter should abide by. His answers relate only to an arrow setup and comparative issues; not the skill of the shooter nor the quality and amount of gear one owns or can own.

Also, in the context that Ragsdale used the term " ethical," I believe he is referring to other definitions of the term (ethical) e.g., conscientious, scrupulous, proper, etc. to mean; if you care enough to do the very best, you do not split the difference.

What does temperature, lighting, natural elements, distance, etc, have to do with the question at hand? I thought we were discussing the necessity, the legitimacy, and the efficiency of trying to get two different setups (shafts) to fly and impact the same?

Is it me, or does anyone else see fog rolling in?

Here is MY bottom line:

You want to shoot targets with field points, tune your bow and shafts to shoot just field points. You want to shoot large game with broadheads, tune your bow and shafts to shoot just broadheads….and neither the twain need meet!!

As others have so clearly and so correctly pointed out; why split the difference? Doing so just does not make sense, no matter how many ways you spin it.
