Default RE: Does Kinetic Energy = Penetration?

Arthur,
I agree that in your analogy there is a point of diminishing returns.
If we start with my set-up of 62 pounds and 29 inch draw. My 540 grain arrows shoot at 208 fps. If I decrease arrow weight in 20 grain incriments I would increase KE to a point and then I agree with you that is would decrease.

My point to Stealth was that changing arrow weight without any other changes would increase arrow speed.

I think we are in agreement though about hunting rigs.
Quite, relativly slow and heavy
