Was just listening to a THP podcast (#167) that had Ranch Fairy and "Rocket man" on it. It was very interesting when they started talking about kinetic energy and compound bows, they describe compounds as a kinetic energy machine and in their testing bows consistently had a set kinetic energy. KE = M(mass) x V² (velocity squared) and once you calculated the Kinetic energy with 1 mass arrow and it's velocity you could extrapolate the velocity for any arrow mass because the kinetic energy was fairly constant.I run a 3 pin sight, 3rd pin is a floater so I can practice at elk range for the day I finally get it together and head west in September. I keep them set at 20, 30, 40 for most of the season with the gaps being very consistent between them. 70# bow, 29.5" draw, 310 IBO with a 650 TAW, not sure what actual speed is

(Adding with an edit) they also had a ton to say about kinetic energy and momentum on light vs heavy at distance AND a separate statement in favor of high FOC regardless of weight
