RE: Velocity verses Energy. (the debate)
Archery depends on cutting and bleeding. Bullets create shock and tissue damage. I haven't looked at the two wound webpages mentioned earlier, but I haven't seen any mention of this on this thread. Doesn't the speed affect the ability of the bullet to mushroom, thus allowing the tranfer of kinetic (or potential) energy to surrounding tissue? There are certain speeds that the bullet would fail to fully mushroom. Our discussion would depend on several variables, speed of bullet, type of bullet, type of target.
