Big difference in arrow diamter 5mm vs 6.5 theres your penetration difference

[@ICantPutMyBowDown]

Still not sure which one I like most. The hunter xt flys well off of various setups! I’m about to get a Toelke whip longbow next week and wiill show that bow with these arrows as well!

Penetration difference??? Someone has to explain what difference dia makes when they are all going through a precut hole most of the time nearly an inch and a half wide with a 2 blade and way bigger with a 3 blade!!! Micro dia also comes with a collar usually as big as a standard dia arrow. You wanna tell me wind drift is different I’m with you if you shoot long distances. Tell for strength I’m with you too but behind a broadhead really not gonna be different.

​@@pathfinder5804Ashby studies state that if the broadhead ferrule is larger than the shaft diameter, there's an increase in penetration. Holes do tend to close back up a little, so in my mind a smaller diameter shaft decreases the surface area, therefore reducing friction, resulting in an increase of penetration. Maybe not by much, but I believe the benefit is there. Even with the addition of a collar on micro shafts, it's only maybe 1 to 3 or 4 inches vs the whole length of the shaft. Friction is still being reduced. Again, maybe not by much, but there are those of us out there who do notice a difference and recognize the benefits. To each their own.
