distance to max efficiency

I've been thinking... scary, I know. ::)  But I was just wondering at what point does an arrow reach it's max efficency as far as penetration?  I was thinking it would have to be around the point the arrow fully recovers from paradox.  Am I correct?  But if it takes 10 yards or so to do that has the arrow lost enough velocity for the arrow not have the momentum (or whatever the correct terminology would be) that it would have at say 5 yards but still in paradox?

I know I'm splitting hairs but it's just something I've been pondering while cleaning out a room to make arrows in. :D

No idea, too far above my head. I just take a stick and put a string on it, if it shoots, hurray for me, lol.  ;D

When it actually comes to shooting accurately I'm just tickled pink when it hits where I want.  But I'm always looking toward what CAN be done.  And how to do it best.  I'm not good yet but I'm getting better.  If you reach for the stars you may not get one but you won't get a handful of mud either. ;)

Possum, Have you read the report by Dr Ashley about arrow penetration? He may have the answers you are looking for about max potential of the arrow. You can read the report on TradGang.
    20 yards is about all I can concentrate on anyway. ;D
 I would guess a lot would have to do with arrow weight, draw weight, angle of flight and probably other things. ??? I personally find that if I think about it too much, I screw up. ;D  Thats where lots of practice helps. ;)   Pat

Justin Snyder:
Arrow maximum efficiency is far less concern to me than maximum archer efficiency.  I will always be the weak link I think. The arrow will penitrate sufficiently to way beyond my range.  :'( Justin
