[QUOTE="lkothe, post: 2528829, member: 30900"] Yup GW is talking out of his toot flute. Todays compounds with the proper spined arrows have very little wobble (archers paradox, IIRC). They might need a few feet to stabilize but even if you hit something before that, the kinetic energy is still moving broadhead first. Might not have perfect penetration but not enough problem to even worry about. Traditional archers, recurve/long/self bows, will have more of the archers paradox but with the right arrows...still no problem. The paradox is due to the force pushing on the flexible shaft. Shaft tends to bow, especially if shooting off the shelf. Compounds are so very close to "center shot" that there isn't much bowing to the shaft. Fletching and vanes rapidly put a spin to the arrow, stabilizing fairly quick. IMHO DNO [/QUOTE]
