[QUOTE="Buttermilk, post: 949975, member: 5262"] Kenetic energy of the projectile is what was mentioned in the second post by ohiohunter. That, really, is the key to killing power with bows (any bow, modern or traditional). Todays bows are so much better at converting stored energy to kenetic energy, and that is one reason you see bowhunters typically using less bow poundage today than 20-30 years ago. Real common to see hunters using 62-63 lb bows today vs 80 lb bows back in the 1980's. [/QUOTE]
