Energy Calculator |
| Kinetic
energy is energy of motion. The kinetic energy of
an object is the energy it carries or has because
of its motion. Kinetic energy is an expression of
the fact that a moving object can do work on anything
it hits; it basically is a value in the case of archery
expressed in ft lbs to describe the force or the amount
of work that the object is capable of upon impact
with another object.
When hunting for
animals it is very important to have the proper amount
of kinetic energy for these animals. If you do not
then you will not get the penetration needed for a
clean kill and you have a better chance of injuring
the animal. Below is a Kinetic Energy Calculator to
determine the kinetic energy of your arrows.
Small game
- 20 to 30 ft-lbs is sufficient.
Some states may have a minimum requirement.
Medium Game -
For whitetail, mule deer, black tail and the like
it is recommended to have at least 40 ft-lbs. Certainly
a well placed arrow with slightly less than that may
do the job.
Big Game-
50 ft-lbs or more would be recommended for this type
of game. Mostly because the shots may be at further
distances. |
