[QUOTE="SpencerSS, post: 504330, member: 32793"] You should read Ashby's reports. Penetration is paramount. Speed and KE don't amount to much. If you want the best arrow performance, perfect the arrow by his methods. There are some really good tests done with comparisions of components(particularly broadheads) on thousands of animals. Very interesting results, like "the only variables to show differences in blood trail quality are shot placement and whether or not the shot passed through. Broadhead type showed no dicernable difference." I've seen a 45@28" longbow out penetrate the top coumpounds @ 70-80lbs shooting 290-340fps. Because the traditional guy had well setup arrows and the compounds didn't. If you really want to see something cool look up "arrow penetration, african elephant", You'll know when you find the right one. 3 pass throughs. [/QUOTE]
