Question for you guys...
Can a short draw length benefit from a heavier arrow or FOC?
I have a 26” draw length. I have been successful bow hunting last 3 years with Easton axis 400g and 100g trocars. Bow is dialed. I shoot all the time. I’ve always had good shots. But every shot has gone ‘right’ -animal stopped, good range, good shot control, etc. I’ve listened to too many podcasts about those times when the shot doesn’t go perfect and that’s when FOC and heavier arrow can make a difference.
I was shooting with a buddy the other day and he was blowing through my bag with field tips. (Heavier draw weight and arrow). My arrow was getting way less penetration and it made me question my set up. I am shooting 63#. Joy. No problems and could easily go up to gain speed but not sure if that’s the right solution. Ive never shot an animal past 53 yds but I presume a heavier arrow could reduce my ability to shoot longer distances. In target sessions, I go out to 80yds with FP’s and BH’s just for the practice and groups are good.
Thoughts?
