Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Remember (I don't remember the formula) that KE = weight * Speed and there is a constant there so 45# KE should perform to the same level all things considered and if there is a difference it will be the heavier arrow that penetrates further due to the momentium carried.

Remember back to physics and all those equasions and formulas. Here is where they come into play.

Again I don't have access to the readily right now.
