[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 103089, member: 1372"] Here is a good website to see the difference in what weight and speed do to KE and momentum. [URL]http://archerycalculator.com/archery-kinetic-energy-and-momentum-calculator/[/URL] As an example, using your 340 grain arrow, put in a speed of 310fps, which is pretty dang fast. Then do a 460 grain arrow at 280 fps. You will see that the heavier arrow has more of both. And while KE is an important number, momentum is what carries the arrow through the animal. Also remember, that heavier arrows make a bow more efficient. Each bow is different, but as you move up in arrow weight, you will actually not lose your speed as rapidly while increasing your arrow weight, like you would adding weight to a lighter arrow.
