RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?
WVhunter, good post but one question:
<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Penetration...IMO is based on KE, but ALSO on broadhead performance...<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
Let me ask you this question then (same braddhead scenio), An arrow hits a deer in it accelerating stage of flight, lets say with 45 pounds of KE at five yards. Another arrow shot out of exactly the same bow with exactly the same arrow hits a deer in exactly the same spot in the decelerating stage of flight at lets say 40 yards with the exect KE of 45 pounds of KE. Which arrow will have the better penetration potential? Or will they be the same? Since they both shot out of the same bow, have the same speed, same broadheads, and same arrow weight.
