I'll have to politely disagree. You need energy to get the arrow to the animal. And then you need more energy to get the arrow to penetrate, which is a transfer of energy. I would doubt that your arrow would kill as good as a centerfire if your quarry was 400 yards away. Unless you had enough energy to get the arrow to the target and penetrate. Holes kill, but you need the energy to make the hole.
So, after 8 pages of nonsense, you need both to kill an animal.
