Don't worry you will get better at it with practice, just keep on trying.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>Both speed and weight have their place in archery , choose which you want , but dont say those that dont choose your way are wrong. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

Exactly!!!!! I have said that all along.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> However , the point I was trying to make to silentassassin was , he gains his kinetic energy by going with the speed , to make up for the low poundage he shoots.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

The point was that to listen to all of you heavy arrow buffs there is never a time when a light arrow is better than a heavy one. It is all a matter of trade off. Will you trade 25 fps or 10% of your speed for 1 foot pound or 0.0147% of your KE. I personally will not. I was just pointing out to you the reversal in logic or lack there of, which I now see that you have recanted due to your having faith in a phenomenon that existed only in your mathematical calulations.
