We were kicking this around this week-end but did not come up with an answer. Shooting the exact same broad head, what set-up would have greater penetration, a 354 gr arrow @ 280 fps or a 472 arrow @ 240 fps? Both have KE of 60-61 ft lbs. Thanks for your help.

472gr arrow. It's all about momentum...

If you are using the exact same head weight, same poundage, that large of a percentage weight difference... then one won't be spined correctly and hitting square. With the same ke the best spined will penetrate the most.
