[QUOTE="sox35, post: 730766, member: 53519"] The penetration results from quite a few factors. Gold tip uses a flaired insert(field point is larger than arrow dia) so the drag factor is greatly reduced when going into a target. With broadheads you will find different results since the dia of the shaft has no bearing on the drag going into a target at that point it is all velocity and mass. On soft mass like a deer my experiences are that the broadheads factor into penetration more than any other aspect. Heavier arrows drop more at the same distance because they are traveling at a slower rate. If you have the same starting velocity you find they will retain more velocity at longer ranges. Smaller dia are used to minimize the amount of drift caused by cross winds. [/QUOTE]
