That extra 60 grns gives you the same KE at 40 yards that your lighter arrow produces at 20 yards...all else equal.

To me, thats a no brainer.
Right.

It's a good to see the downrange result of using a lighter arrow.
Feather fletching will cost KE at a distance versus vanes on an arrow where weight is otherwise equal.
Of course if someone is restricted to 20 yard shots it won't make as much difference.
