Arthur,
Actually the ACC does have more ke at 60 yards and continues to have more but we are getting way outside of normal hunting conditions.


If I hunted Elk,this would be nice to know.I wouldn't be scared of a 60 yard shot on one if using an AC kinetic II arrow knowing it will retain more energy than an aluminum at the same weight.Yes I can get correctly spined Kinetic II up around 450 gr.


50 yards is the ABSOLUTE max on deer and would have to be an ABSOLUTELY PERFECT situation.

I am just a bit more comfortable knowing that the arrow is moving around 260-270 for that once in a lifetime shot.240-250 would be fine for me also but I would still be using some sort of carbon.

I am not a speed freak like some but I am not a momentum freak either.


My statement is true for me about getting a CORRECTLY SPINED arrow to be 350 gr heavier.FOR ME.It is very hard to do.


The best I can do is about 585gr.with a 185 gr point.I can get up to 600 gr with 200 gr points but foc is getting out of hand.



Now I can get an arrow that is too stiff a lot closer to that weight but not in the range that I like for accurate setups.I could also add some of the weights that are available but,like I stated before,No game in North America really needs that much momentum from my bow.


Traditional shooterts,on the otherhand need as much weight as possible for momentum because they have very little ke.It is neccesary for their setups.
