Easton Kinetic Energy Calculator

Been having a messing around with the kinetic energy calculator
and it would seem an arrow with total Grain wgt of 570g and a velocity of 400ft/sec
would be capable of downing an Elephant or a Tank or a Tyranasaurus
hmm Bowhunting against tanks now hteres a whole new concept

Now where are you going to find a Tyrannosaurus??

And, for that matter, and arrow that heavy, and a bow capable of launching it at those sort of speeds?...

202 ft/lbs, er, I think not. Try a 470NE or a 416 RemMag for better results and a less "Flattening" experience.
