Arrows?

[eman1885]

What is the consensus among you guys about arrow weight? Do you prefer an arrow that is lighter, faster and maybe a bit more noisy, or a heavier arrow that is quieter but slower and is supposed to penetrate better? I have my own ideas, I’m just curious about y’all’s.

Heavier but not necessarily heavy. 7-8 grns/lb of draw weight for compound and 10 grns/lb for recurve.

I also like a bit of weight FOC. I use 125 grn points for compound and 175 grn for recurve.

I try to stay around 9-10 GPP. Get the most energy transfer from the bow without approaching the point of diminishing returns. Fred Bear spent a lot of time and money nailing that down. It hasn’t changed.
