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

Okay, I guess we'll agree to disagree then. Still, the answer to the original question, "what is the best way to get kinetic energy" for a given bow at a given draw weight and given draw length is to shoot a heavier arrow.
We don't disagree at all regarding this. I've been saying heavier is more KE and more momentum all along.

What I've seen is the shorter, reflexed riser bows with lower brace heights and higher letoffs are far more critical of minor form flaws and make you pay dearly where accuracy is concerned.
We agree again. I said that a longer brace height is more forgiving. The reason it is more forgiving is because the power stroke is shorter and therefore dwel time is reduced. All other things being equal, faster means shorter dwell too therefore more forgiving.
