[QUOTE="johnhhernan, post: 1360235, member: 71982"] Everyone speaks of ethically killing an animal but what about archery. The average arrow is 388 grains at 298 fps which equates to 77 lbs of KE. 400 grains at 294 FPS= 77 lbs of KE. 415 Grains at 290 FPS=78 KE. Why is this acceptable? Im asking im not being a smart ***! It doesnt make sense to me. I dont know if those numbers are accurate I took them from an archery web site and one guy said that is how he would set up his equipment for elk. So whats the difference the 6.5 140 gn bullet at 2990 fps has more energy at 1880 yards than arrow. Now would I try to kill an elk with less than 1200 lbs for elk and 900 for deer antelope! No I would not. [/QUOTE]
