But it does matter and clearly you still fail to understand or grasp the differences in KE and MO as it applies to bowhunting.

Nonsense. Pure nonsense. You continue to operate under the misconception that a bowhunter will simply select the wrong spine for their arrows and wont match the spine to the bow speed and head weight. Its a given that hunters will select the proper spine so I cant for the life of me understand why you keep bringing up a moot point. Its a non-issue and you can expect that arrows will be spined to the bow and broadheads selected. Whether shooting 85 grain heads or the Bishop 600 grain broadhead, all know that your arrow has to be spined and why arrows come in more than just one spine. You do, I do it, all bowhunters do it so I don't understand why you think bowhunters will shoot a heavy head but select the wrong spine.

It makes the bow too loud and puts a lot more stress on the equipment.
Cool story. Make sure you get the correct spine for the broadhead weight you shoot. That is a non-brainer. You are going to grasp this eventually, Keep reading, Im not ready to give up on you yet.
