RE: why so mutch weight
I'm a poor judge of anything past 20 yards. I like the fact that I can be a little off [if I don't range things first] and still hit where I want.
Plus the KE is a definite plus. |

I learned this whenI got into archery more. More weight makes you step up to a heavier spined arrow and you are not gaining anything to speak of with the heavier # bows as far as speed goes. You would think that a 70# bow is way faster than a 60# bow, but it isn't. Where the heavy pound, heavy spined arrow stand out is in kineteic energy. Like throwing a pencil at you or a pencil with a small metal rod inside of it. Both travel at the same speed, but the pencil with the rod in it hurts more and does more damage. Important in bigger game like brown bears, large african game, elk, moose, caribou; big bodied and heavy boned animals.

I dropped my draw weight down to 60 lbs this year when I bought my Alegence. I spined my deer at 40 yrds this year and the arrowpenatrated the spine and was sticking out the other side of the deer. Yep, plenty of poundage. [align=right] [/align] |
