Default Which of these 2 brodheads require less KE?

Out of the Nap Shockwave and Nap Scorpion which require the less KE to work properly? I dont care much about a pass through. I kinda like the Scorpions more?

Thanks

The scorpions would require less KE to get through a deer.

The two heads are nearly exacly the same except the scorpion has a blade on the tip and the shockwave has the tri-vex tip.

Hmm, I would tend to agree with bigbulls but I have a little itch at the back of my head. Does the tip style necessitate less KE in relation to having the blades open...ie function properly...or is "functioning properly" referring to penetration?

I am not being argumentative but rather just hashin' something around in my head.

Why would you not care much about a pass through?

I tend to agree with Frank, I don't think one or the other takes more energy to open, but the scorpion will probably be more consistant as far as penetration goes, at least in soft tissue hits. Bone on the other hand could be another story entirely.

they both will require about the same amount to make them work. you should be pushing about 55 ft lbs to make these work out toaround the 30 yard range. but like every other broadhead out there it ain't going to save you from a bad shot.
