So, what are you saying, Frank? Just because I have a 33" draw I can't relate to someone with a 26" draw? Remember, I've had ALL draw lengths under 33"! I had a 26" draw.... once.... a long time ago..... when I was 10, maybe.... about 7 years before Allen invented the compound.

That is what I was saying Arthur just not directed at you....

. It was a general comment.

I cant express enough that....
KE is not nearley as important as momentum concerning archery

And I will stress that neither KE nor momentum is nearly as important as hitting the kill zone with a sharp broadhead. A KE of 35 is more than enough when you hit what you're supposed to. A KE of 100 might not be enough if you hit them in the wrong spot.

RE: ? about kinetic energy

I agree completely, but, since we are all but human, and not perfect, we occasionally miss the boiler room, and maybe hit a shoulder. IMO, that's why the more KE or momentum the better.
