I really thought there was a lot of good info there, but what is meant by standard deviation?

Surprised at your test results. Would have thought heavier arrow = greater penetration...interesting.
Could you give info on arrow diameter? Could this have had an effect? Or maybe surface finish?
This stuff is fascinating to me...
What's your take on reason for result...any ideas?

very interesting. I would have thought for sure that the heavier arrow would have retained more momentum then the lighter faster arrows. If all was equal (fletching size/diameter..etc) then the only things that i can think that would have given you the outcome would be the following.....

1-The FOC (front of center) of the arrow could have altered the penetration

2-Arrow tuning...if the heavier arrow was not flying straight it would have lost some KE and momentum before and during impact.

the 280g arrow was then one that confused me. The other 2 compared to the heaviest arrow were what i suspected. Need to know what that arrow was so i can start shooting them.

Thanks for the test!
