Yes for Certain Critters. Broadhead Choice is Key.

I was trying to be funny. Kinetic energy=1/2 mv2. You can look up archery calculators for it. I just laugh when I see guys at the bowshop with a hot new bow setup and they calculate KE. Lots of modern bows get to the 80-90 ftlb range of KE. There are some African countries that would require a certain KE to hunt dangerous game. Usually 90 ftlb of KE. Guys would know that number and then assume there light arrows would kill anything on the planet because of their KE. Doesn't really work that way on big stuff. My best example would be a feather and a semi-truck. Would you rather get hit by a feather doing 40 mph or a semi doing 40 mph?

Or a buddy standing 10 yds away and throwing a golf ball 50mph at you or him throwing a ping pong ball 75mph at you. I'll take the ping pong ball every time.

Hm. I shoot arrows with Broadheads Jim.

I love hearing guys who have never shot big stuff give their opinions. All the time I hear guys say " my bow shoots 300 fps and 390 grain arrow. That's 100 lbs of ke. I can go kill an elephant with my rage." That is an example. Killing big stuff is all about arrow weight, foc, good broadhead and shot placement.

BAM!!! Yes sir...........preach the truth brother!!!
