The one that produces the better kinetic energy, which I would suspect would be the 6075. I doubt, however, you would have any trouble achieving pass through with either.

From my experience I would go with the heavier arrow over speed.

I would say pultruded arrows would penetrate better all other things being equal.

I assume the 50-75 is a gold tip and the 60-75 is a Carbon express terminator????

The Gold tip is .005" smaller in diameter so it has the very slight advantage there.

The terminator is a bit stiffer than the Gold tip so it has the advantage there.

The terminator is heavier than the Gold tip so it has another advantage.

Shooting these two shafts out of the same bow, at the same draw length and draw weight, cut the same length, fletched the same, with the same broadheads, the terminator should give better penetration.

The terminator selects are an amazing hunting shaft. Incredibly tough. One of the best hunting shafts made.

well, let's put it this way, are you shooting a log or a twig. which would hurt more (no matter the speed).

7595 GOLD TIPS will probably work the best for you. I'm sure it will also help with your penetration issues.

or how about the Easton Axis 340 or 300. Heavy arrow with a small diameter and a smooth finish...just thought I would add a log to the fire.
