    the archers paradox is USUALLY the way an arrow starts off kinked and flys in a wobbly fashion to its target. the string forces arrow to be off to one side on an old traditional bow...not so much when bow has cut out/bent bit in middle so arrow stays straight... its a funny thing to watch in slow motion.

    for deer n pigs I usually use heavy n slow up close and lighter pills out further,cause they fly flatter and are my more accurate reloads,the light ones work up close too,but I like heavy just incase of poor angle of shrubbery in the way.
    go back 35 years and I used what ever was on the shelf of gun shop...stuck to same bullet weight as impact would be closer.
    poke bullet in right place and it will die.
