Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Good points WV Hunter,
Question: How much draw weight did an Indian have on their bows back in the late 1700's/early 1800's?
How did this affect the flint broadheads they shot?
Not intent on starting a flame war just a thought concerning this issue. Has anyone done any studying(that anyone knows about) as to the effective draw weight of some of these selfbows and the weight of the arrows it shot?

That would be some interesting reading!
