Bruce this is often left out, but a big one to me. Noise issue is what I see as the biggest. I can always tell who has a light arrow at a 3d shoot, those bows have a distinctive sound
When I went from a lighter arrow to the 533gr arrow my bow's energy transfer efficiency went up.

RE: "Momentum"
Jeff, I'm serious when I say this. You have NOTHING to worry about with your setup. 290fps wit a 375gr arrow is going through a deer, no problamo. In my eyes, it's not worthy of a switch.

RE: "Momentum"
I dont think we can calculate optimal, it would change for every bow setup & shooter... There are way too many variables.
You could get it close and then refine w/ tinkering.

From my seat in the peanut gallery, it appears that "momentum" is a term reserved specifically for the internet smartass know-it-all's who like to pretend that anyone who uses "Kinetic Energy" as a barometer of their arrow's penetration power is an ill-informed illiterate dumbass.
90% of these individuals have no idea how to calculate momentum, and will read this and go look it up, just to spite me and pretend that I'm wrong.They'll be googling over the next hour, trying topuke out somepost-hoc rationaliztion thattheyactually do actually know how to come up with it. It will take them at least a half-hour to figure out the unitary conversions. Somebody may actually suffer a brain aneurysm as a result of this post.

These idiotscontinue to drop the M-Bomb, in spite of the fact that the entire bowhunting world widely accepts Kinetic Energy as areasonable baseline.
I'd lay a hefty wager that most of these people had never heard of the term "momentum"until one of their internet idols used it ina post.
Momentum Schmomentum.
