Summary

Heavy arrow setups with a high Front-of-Center (FOC) percentage and single-bevel, cut -on-contact broadheads built for optimal penetration, bone breaking performance and consistent pass-through’s, are the basics of Troy Fowler’s, (a.k.a the “Ranch Fairy”), arrow philosophy. But why? Can’t you get the same total Kinetic Energy with a light arrow moving faster – and it will shoot flatter too? What about momentum? How is it different from Kinetic Energy and is it more important? What happens to an arrow’s potential for penetration long after it leaves the bow? The Ranch Fairy answers these questions and more in this super informative podcast. Warning: You may be tweaking your arrow setup – or at least rethinking what you thought you knew. Watch on YouTube for the full effect – because Troy shows us telling charts that illustrate his points.
