Default RE: Heavy, Small Diameter Arrows

Thanks for the input Bill! I really don' t think I would need re-bar arrows myself, but I have no experience whatsoever with animals like this. I think the weight is to insure penetration through hair/hide/mud/ribs/etc. I' m just going on what I have been told by a guy who has shot them, and seen them shot, with arrows. I plan on doing some penetration testing when I get the bow and see what happens with light vs. heavy. There' s bound to be a point where you loose penetration due to loss of speed, I just gotta' figure out where that is.
