[QUOTE="southpa, post: 3046922, member: 65823"] All this talk is funny. I've recently been in a debate about the "kinetic energy" being useless with regards to ballistics. Then using the heavy arrow example with the heavy bullet example guys are telling me it's not energy, it's momentum hahah. Basically the premise is that heavier projectiles are useless because it's not energy that's important it's the bullet/broadhead design. This is essentially nonsense because without energy (an objects ability to do work) than no projectiles will ever kill anything. Bows with lighter draw weight and lighter arrows will not produce the energy that bows with heavier poundage and arrows will. It matters not what year your 60# bows is manufactured, it still will not produce the numbers an 80# can with similar arrow specs. OP, It's hard to beat the draw cylce of a Hoyt IMO. 80# is nothing to all the naysayers. If you can't pull 80 than stick to 60 but stop saying you don't understand why others need 80. You don't need to understand. Numbers are numbers and we like them. Next time your 60# bow with it's pewny 450 grain arrow sticks into an animals front shoulder other guys arrows will be blowing right through both of them. You'll be tracking a wounded animal and others will be packing meat. This is one good reason many guys shoot 80+ bows. [/QUOTE]
