Thats funny! So if cams make the kenitic energy then rifling in barrel make it in firearms? Lite arrow go fast doesn't go as deep, heavy arrow go slower and sinks deeper correct? Lite bullet goes fast but easily deflected (wind. tree branch....) heavy bullet goes slow through brush and bucks wind with less drift? Someone help me here I was only a C student in school! I have figured out fast projectile regardless what it is can be fast miss, heavy projectile makes slow miss!Think I will go to bar and debate Coors Light verses Bud Light.

So many people worried about penetration when the heart/lungs sit 2-3 inches from outside of the skin

Budlight

Dang I didn't mean to open a can of worms. MY point being is that I want enough energy (call it what ever the $#$@# you want to call it, it's still K.E.) to ethically dispatch the animal I'm shooting at. I know that I don't have a problem putting the arrow in the vitals at 60 yards however; ETHICALLY that's now a probable shot due to weighing in factors that could result in maiming or shooting an unrecoverable animal.

So getting back to my first post; I would shoot out to 50 yards but only if the conditions and all the variables were right.

And Rloving; you choose, you know I don't drink.

Wow not sure how this got so complicated but lots of good information above. As long as I can see EXACTLY where where I want to hit I can take the shot. So pretty much don't use a range finder anymore. If you are still in your late 20's you may get a chuckle out of this in 40 years.

It's a system the energy is in the limb, cam system is is what transfers the energy efficiently to the arrow.

Coorslight

KE and Momentum are just measurements one is directional the other isn't.

My set the arrow with a two blade board 1 1/8 cut still has enough momentum at a 100yards to pass try the vital of a 300lb animal. Wether the animal is still there when it gets there is a different story

Now I'm on board with Bobo since he said Coors Light! Those Budlight yahoos just lost a fan! I'm still comfy shooting out to 30 of critters.

Coors Light?... good grief, it's only good to clean out bird cages. I don't drink anymore but when I did, I didn't drink that poop made in the U.S.A.

Lol, so it's not made in Golden anymore? I'm actually a yellow belly fan

From K.E. to cold beer .
My favs when I drank beer were listed in order to preference.
Guinness, and Guinness Extra Stout, Stella Artois, Chimay, Becks, Heineken, and Paulaner Hefeweizen and most of the import winter fest lagers. I got spoiled when I lived in Europe; after than I was ruined.

It's THF, where ever the wind takes us.
Never been a dark beer fan.
