fast arrows?

(1/4) > >>

bushboy:
Was talking to a compound guy the other day and he told me fast arrows were more apt to bounce off a fabric target butt.wondering what you guys think?

osage outlaw:
Are the fast arrows also super light?

I watched a hunting show the other day where a guy shot a deer in the elbow/leg bone with a mechanical broadhead tipped carbon arrow probably going around 300 fps.  The arrow bounced off of the deer. 

bushboy:
There heavy 60grain,I respect the guy I was talking to ,he can put 3 in a pieplate at 1000yards with his rifle and 3 in tea cup at 70yards with his compound ,I've seen it for my own eyes!

Bryce:
He's right.
A light arrow has less penetrating power than a heavy slow arrow.
Think of it like this.
A VW beetle hits a brick wall at 70 mph. The beetle gets crushed.
The same beetle filled with lead anything to make it heavier. Will smash through the wall.

bubbles:
60 grains or 600 grains?  60 grains would be some pretty light arrows.
