Video Summary
AI GeneratedRyan Gill of Hunt Primitive investigates whether an animal's motion during a shot reduces arrow penetration. Through controlled tests with light and heavy arrows on static, swinging, and spinning targets, he concludes that while heavy arrows offer more momentum, higher velocity is more critical to prevent animals from reacting and jumping, which is the primary cause of poor shot placement.
