<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote<font size=1 face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>I've lived in tornado alley my whole life and have seen some pretty incredible things, including the pine needle in the bark thing. Well, actually a piece of straw stuck in a phone pole. Pretty impressive until you look at the next phone pole and see a 2x4 stuck clean thru it. <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The one thing that stays the same in your scenario and mine is the speed at which they are propelled. If I could shoot 2X4s from my bow and still get 290fps then I would. I would just prefer getting hit with a softball doing 5 mph to a pine needle doing 200 mph.
