Finished arrow weight

[PhillyB]

Just curious what everyone's finished arrow weight is for:

Muley's

Elk

I saw an article that 5-7 grains per draw pound is the recommended arrow weight. For a 70 lbs bow, that is a range of 350g- 490g.

this year my finished arrow weight is 471 grains @ 300fps, draw weight is 75lbs

i use that setup for everything, elk my primary focus, muleys, and whitetails if i get the chance

502 grains at 73 lbs I use this for everything.

350 grains, 70lb draw at 280fps, but my tackle is a wee bit old.

Damn Shaun, do you even find any of your arrows after you kill something with it?

 

[Jared Bloomgren]

Not sure what my speed will be on my new set-ups. But I will be flinging either 450 gr or 475 gr this year.

 

[cmeier117]

I will be up around 525-550, and hopefully still over 280 fps.

415gr

Havent got to use them on an animal yet besides ground squirrels with judos and they blow through and keep going. I am probably goin to run up the hill and hammer a hog pretty quick just so I can see what it will do.
