Why is kinetic energy important in hunting situations?
If your bow set up does not have adequate kinetic energy, poor penetration will be a direct result. Getting enough kinetic energy from your current set up is critical when shooting any type of game. Kinetic energy dissipates the further an arrow gets from your bow, making KE even more important when hunting at ranges past 20 yards. To determine the kinetic energy of your hunting set up, or to see how changing factors influences kinetic energy, use Easton’s Shaft Selector.
