Key Points
- Arrow Speed (fps): Faster speeds are achieved with lighter arrows and higher draw weights but may sacrifice penetration.
- Arrow Weight: Heavier arrows (like Kinetic models) offer more momentum and are better for larger game but are generally slower.
- Draw Weight and Length: Increasing either often results in higher speeds but can also affect accuracy and energy.
