   Dead is dead no matter how fast your arrow gets there.

  No it won't hurt your bow. Your bow buts more of it's stored engery into heavy arrows. Making it much more stabale in flight. AT 20 yards and under IT'S MUCH BETTER ARROW.

agd,this is JMHO,but heavy arrows are all I shoot.I try to keep every arrow at least 12 gr/# ,or more,in my huntin' quiver. In my experience,any thing lighter just does'nt get the penetration I like.I sure don't have to have a pass-through every time,but I do like the point or tip of the point to punch through,just to help with blood trails. ;) God Bless

Holten101:
I belive, that in a hunting situation penetration is everything, secondary only to precision (this goes for rifles too)...and only heavy, FOC/EFOC arrows with properly selected broadheads will give you that (something compound shooters have a hard time grasping). Sure light arrows can kill, but when shot placement is less than perfect, then penetration, and lots of it, is what you want;-).

Cheers
