Default RE: Ethical Arrow Weight

ORIGINAL: Crowkilla

And Robin, I was basing my KE measurement on a calculation I made onan assumed shooting scenario.Assuming total arrow weight is 395 gr. and is moving at 315 fps. Using the calculator at http://www.bowhuntinginfo.com/Kinetic%20Energy%20Calculator.htmkinetic energy is roughly 87 ft. lbs.
I wasn't implying those numbers are not possible...just that they are not common or "starting points". Even if the chrono and scale are off in your case, you are more than adequate for most game. I would guess your bow to be more around the 275 mark...but that isn't something I even check on my own setups normally.
