Default RE: What is the best way to get kinetic energy

Here's some numbers that may be of interest. Under bow1 and bow2 the orangish colored cells are results the white cells are input. bow 2 only allows you to change mass, peak weight draw and brace. I only changed from a 530 grain arrow to a 330. You can see that KE dropped by 5 ft/lbs but velocity increased by 46.3 ft/sec. In this scenario even the lighter arrow launches with 52 ft/lbs which is more than enough for whitetails. Of course arrow choice is a subjective thing but in this case anyway I would go with the 330 grain arrow.
