RE: What is the best way to get kinetic energy II
Arthur P,
It's funny but when I was in freshman physics we did everything using metric units (probably because its easier). The prof never used eglish units in any examples and I don't believe there were any in the text book either. Anyway, on an exam he gave us a realtivly simple problem to solve but suddenly it was english units. Nobody got the right answer!

I am still waiting for someone to answer this.......
To elaborate further...
Why give up trajectory to gain a trivial amount of momentum when your setup is already packing that much energy?

i can answer this for u, if u give up a little speed you will have a quieter bow. this will give you a chance at hitting that whitetail! sence a whitetails reaction time is 1100 f.p.s. [:-] i don't care how tough you are, you will never get 1100 fps out of a bow!
i hope that didn;t burn to bad, lol

Actually I think this was answered several times in the other thread. Several people said that delivering energy over the minimum needed only winds up wasted in the ground after it passes through the deer.

So Einstein how many grains and weight should I shoot as 70# and 400 grains don't fly for you on a hunting setup? As you seem to have the holy grail of archery knowledge.
I shoot around a minimum of 200 arrows per week this time of year between my two indoor 5 spot leagues, indoor 3-D league and outdoor 3-D on the weekends. How about you?
this will give you a chance at hitting that whitetail!

buckeyebuckhntr,
I wouldn't waste my time with posts that make no sense. I think somebody has been smoking something other than the targets!

RE: What is the best way to get kinetic energy II
As long as I'm over what I consider a minimum adequate amount of energy/momentum for the distance I'm willing to shoot I wouldn't give up any speed for energy.
Syl IYO what do you consider adequate energy?
For inside 40 yards I like to have around or better than 65 ft/lb of KE at point of release.

Can I get any one that can figger it out how much KE I am getting?
Allso all you supper smart people HOW much MOMENTUM am I getting?
I get 297 fps bow is set to 90# 29 in draw, shooting 2514 xx78 arrow is 550 grs
