There's been plenty of discussion on the effectiveness of arrows.
According to the actual tests I've seen, arrow weight and the cutting ability of the broadhead makes all the difference.
The fairly wide and longish two blade tip, sharpened like a razor blade and attached to a very heavy arrow was credited with the most penetration.

Another deadly "assault weapon" to ban. How can we ever subjugate the people with all those weapons out there?
