The point is the potential for penetration they both have while going that speed. We are not trying to compare bows to tornados. It doesn't matter why it is going that fast just that it is going that fast and how much it weighs. While we are on the subject though I believe you will find that heavy arrows will lose speed faster proportionally than a lighter one. Take your chrono and shoot through it with a light setup @ 6ft and then try it at 30 yards and then do the same with a heavy setup and see which one loses more speed. I have always found the heavier arrow to lose more speed. Besides all that matters in the scenario is the speed of the object and it's weight, the wind isn't driving it like a hammer would a nail into the wood it simply propels it.
