Unfortunately, he doesn't really mean anything... other than trying to get his user profile rating up with meaningless babble. Look at the bucket load of spam he's posted this evening alone! Can you say, "Ban the juvenile" boys and girls? Good, I knew ya could. [:@]

I have routinely gotten complete passthroughs with 39lb/ft of energy and as much as 10" of arrow in the ground, depending on the shot angle. How much is enough? Check the FEATURES section on Bowsite.com. And just for informational purposes KE does never killed a deer. But a good sharp broadhead placed in the vitals will never fail. Numbers do not accomplish the results.

I found Easton's KE calculator, and my bow's been chrono'd at the bowshop, my Beman's Hunter Camo 400's weigh 8.6 grains per inch, what I don't know is how much the nocks and 4" plastic vanes weigh ... anyone ?

(my hundred grain bh's weigh 100 grains - I knew that)

When you start to question your gear, just think of the ole Native American and what they used....then go pratice so you can do your part of the equation

I think you should have stuck with your aluminums, because carbon arrows break down after shooting them and you lose the tightness of your groups
