Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Bowfanatic,you are definately in the minority.Most anyone that has used carbon on game will attest to the penetrating avnantages.The ones that havn't had good results were most likely due to a poorly built arrow or poorly tuned bow.


I am going to disagree that you can gain ke at the bow by going to a lighter arrow.If the arrows are tuned at both weights and the poundage isn't changed(or draw length) then a light arrow will not gain enough fps to increase ke.It just isn't possible,unless there is a tune issue.Maybe fletching contact issues or something that is off on the bow.
