Arrow Kinetic Energy Calculator
Kinetic energy of an arrow is the energy it has due to its motion. The more kinetic energy an arrow has, the better the penetration will be when holding other variables constant.
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.
Calculate your arrow's kinetic energy and find out if your bow set up has the amount of energy is needed to hunt.
