PSE XForcce SS 29 inch draw - 65 lbs - 100 grain tip - carbon express arrow 26 1/2 inches long - 301 fps

I'd be interested to see the shaft weight and spine for this set up. That's a very short arrow.

A fast, light arrow and a slower heavy arrow in many cases have similar KE numbers. The true number is momentum. The heavier arrow will carry more momentum than the light arrow. From what I had gathered, momentum is "drives" the arrow through a target. Also some light, fast arrows have thinner walls and might not be as tough as some heavier arrows.
