Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Arthur, I would really have to agree with just about everything you have said. I'm really interested in hearing your hunting setup, I don't believe that you have ever given it yet. I have to say that I have shot both heavy and light arrows. Last year, I used the light carbons and really was not fully satisfied with using them. Like you said, bow tuning, and accuracy was a problem for me. I swore that I would go back to the heavy aluminums even while I was using them. I didn't want to change then because I had everything set up and I practiced with only carbons all last summer. But right after the season last year, I went back to the heavy aluminum arrows. And I am very happy going into this season with them. BTW, I did shoot two deer last year with the carbons, one was a pass through the other was not. But on the non-pass though, the deer died in its track. I have had nothing but pass throughs on the heavier arrows.
