Light xbow bolts don't retain much energy compared to heavier shafts from compounds either, I'll bet, and compounds are posting some pretty impressive speeds.
You're wrong there. Crossbow arrows are genreally as heavy as the full length arrows shot by compound users. My crossbow is putting a 425 grain arrow out the chute at a chronographed 356 fps.. Not many compounds even come close to that speed with an arrow that heavy.
You are correct, sir. Crossbows hit harder, and punch clear through every time for me, leaving two holes and a clear blood trail for the short walk to the deer. Compound bow will usually not, and often leaves the arrow plugging the hole. Same razor heads on both.
