Troy “Ranch Fairy” Fowler and Dr. Ed Ashby have been nothing short of revolutionary in my bow hunting. Heavy arrows and fixed blades make sense and have worked for me since i got into them. 1 cow, 2 does, 2 grouse and coyote (not much, easy to penetrate) but none ran more than 25 yards.
The Ashby reports, and Troy, seem to intentionally avoid talking about speed. The 12 fundamentals of penetration talk about some very specific things, and speed isn’t one.
A 600 grain arrow traveling 200 FPS will
NEVER penetrate as far as the same arrow moving, say, 300 FPS. Increasing draw length will kill your form, but getting stronger to pull more weight is free.
Speed, mass, point integrity, point sharpness. If the arrow can find it’s target, I say those are the top 5 factors (all equally important)
