Arrow diameter

Quote:
Do you feel the thickness of the arrow has any effect on a complete pass through?
Some shooters believe that a thinner shaft penetrates better. This is only true when you're shooting field tips at archery targets. When a broadhead penetrates an animal it leaves a gapping hole in its wake. Even the fattest shaft can easily pass through a 1.25" hole without being constricted.

The arrow that penetrates the deepest is the one that flys true and hits the target animal straight on. An arrow that has not completely straightened out in flight causes the broadhead to enter at a slight angle, thus robbing it of its potential to fully penetrate.
