I like weight incase I happen to slip arrow into heavier bone than planned it ups the odds of good penetration.Don't need speed since I hope for shots at 30 yards and under and if bow is correct string noise at close range shouldn't be issue.

Two things up your kinetic energy one is speed the other is weight.

BJANKOWSKI,
I thought I was the only one using extreme FOC. half my arrows are 15% and the other half ar 20+. Some all the way up to 28%
you know you have some power when a new block four target does not even stop your arrow.
What type of arrow and setup are you using?
