i'll take a heavier arrow moving slower than a faster, lighter arrow every day for hunting. it will carry its energy better
Explain this part to me, Mauser. I have a hard time following these "momentum" arguments....and I'd like to understand it better.
A heavy arrow is harder to stop than a light arrow moving at the same speed. A faster arrow is harder to stop than a heavier arrow moving at a slower speed. These are generalities.....butThe KE formula figures out which one is "better" for us. I'm not sure "momentum" is understood enough. I know I'd like to know more about it....and why it belongs in the same sentence with KE.
