Default RE: enough kenetic energy

Talk to compound shooters and they think they need 70 pound bows shooting 300 grain arrows so they can get a KE calculator to tell them they have 60 pounds or some arbitrary number and its almost laughable.

Talk to any trad shooter who shoots 650 grain wood arrows from 50-55# bows with speeds at maybe 170-180 fps and ask them about KE.

Truth is a sharp broadhead on the end of an arrow will kill ........ ya'll are arguing about how many inches you'll stick the arrow into the dirt on the other side.

This ............ from a 52# longbow, 525 grain carbons, a Thunderhead 3 blade and the shot was 18 yards.
