90lb compound at 40' vs soft armor.
I'm confident that 762 ceramic would be sufficient but soft armor not so much.
Any knowledge out there?

Put it on and then hand your friend the bow.

If you don't respond, we'll know what happened.

We shot a IIIA riot shield in our lab with a crossbow and a couple of arrows.  The bolt popped right through.  The fancy razor blade head busted on the surface.

I'd be willing to donate some broadheads, but my bow won't do. I've got a PSE Patriot 2.

I saw a interceptor combat load and thought the neck, shoulders, underarm, and groin were vulnerable to a good bow hit.

Kind of still up in the air. That was pretty thick Kevlar.

well, it doesn't really matter if it's a bullet, shrapnel, or arrow if it hits an unarmored area...

Saw an archery demo a few years ago where an arrow with a standard field point went right through a kevlar vest.

Every few years some idiot kills his idiot best friend, brother, cousin, etc. because they believe soft body armor is stab proof. Not just urban legend. This has been discussed here many times over the years.
