No comparison. The foam world slow the arrow faster.  If you sink an arrow 4" in the foam a deer would be dead...if you hit him in the right place.  ;D

Mr. Pat is right on.....Here is my advice. Pull 45# or so and dont worry about foam comparisons to critters.

Unless you have a good recipe for foam backstraps, but then I don't like to eat "light".
