One thing I gleaned from the study and hoped to learn more about was the percentage of killing shots jumped WAY up once a certain level of momentum was reached, even when big bone was impacted. I believe the momentum figure was .57 or something like that. One of the tables said a 350 grain arrow would have to be traveling around 367 fps to provide that, which we are closing in on

If you had this much momentum, you could bow kill any beasty walking the face of the earth, apparently. But I' m wondering what the minimum level of momentum to provide this same increase killing shot rate is for whitetail sized game. Seems logical that it would take a tad bit less to zip through a whitetail than say a cape buffalo, with his overlapping ribs and all I am a whitetail and smaller size game hunter, and larger game probably isn' t in my forseeable future, no matter how much I' d like it to be.

If we could determine this, I' d say we could find some common ground in a hurry, cause I have a sneaky feeling we' re there right now. My 375 grain arrow zipping along at 288 is giving me .479 in momentum right now. My 500 grain arrow at 252 gives me .559, probably adequate to face down a blue whale provided proper shot placement and a good broadhead
