Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

From the engineers own words momentum is not a factor until there is a change in the direction of travel.

So Arthur you shoot a 950 gr. arrow?

How could I be putting words in your mouth when it is right there in black and white. Here you go I even color coded where you said in EVERY case weight increases KE decreases.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>TFOX is right. If you look at Mullaney's bow test reports, he always charts out arrow weight, speed, KE and efficiency for a lot of different arrow weights.<u> I've followed his reports for years and in <font color=red>EVERY</font id=red> case, as arrow weight drops, speed increases, KE decreases and efficiency decreases.</u> Lighter arrows are not as efficient at absorbing stored energy from the bow as heavier arrows are, they carry less of the bow's energy away as KE and leave that extra energy in the bow to come out as noise and vibration. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>
