If you’re shooting 60#, what’s your arrow weight?

[Skerhunter]

29” @ 60lbs 340 shaft 100gr heads should put you at 400-430 grains depending on components. Could go with a lighter gpi shaft but axis is the easy button.

Those specs you won’t have an issue with elk and it will tune easy!

I am shooting ~61# on a compound, and my arrow weight is around 525 gr.

Interesting stuff guys. Thanks for playing along. I always find setups interesting.

I think either will work, I would suggest getting a broadhead on that arrow and then seeing how it shoots before you go all in. Sometimes the really accurate arrow with a field point will have issues when adding that fixed blade. If you did have arrows, sometimes tuning can fix it. You have time.

I am shooting 60lb in my Lift... arrows are around 410 grains and going around 285 fps. Pretty sweet setup sp far and I can totally avoid any shoulder pain with a tons of reps.

Not sure I will use it for moose this fall, but will be using it for everything else up here in Alaska.

What draw length?

Those are impressive speeds for an arrow that heavy out of a 60 pound bow.

My Triax at 70 pounds and a 28" draw launches the same arrow at 275 fps.

I'm at 58 or 59lb draw weight on a quest amp. 32" draw length, arrows are right around 525gr. No idea on speed, but they arent fast! Been shooting slick trick magnums for a couple seasons, before that Rage mechanicals. Have never not had a full pass-thru buried deeply in the ground on the other side though (deer).

I switched up my bow poundage last season just to try 60lbs. Swapped my 70lb limbs out and dropped a little weight on my arrow to keep the speed above 270. No problem blowing through my Desert Muley this last January.

29.5in Draw Mathews TRX 34 @ 62lbs
28in C2C Black Eagle Rampage 300 @ 430gns
Arrow is going 272FPS

I'm shooting 55# and a 500gr aluminum arrow.

I’m shooting 29.5” draw length. With the 60# mods maxed out bow actually pulls back at about 61.5# as measured on my cheapo Amazon scale.

58#, 475grain
Practice out to 60, hunt to 40 (so far)

I wouldn't think twice if for some reason I had to hunt elk with a 45-50lb compound. That reason will eventually be old age if I'm lucky I guess. Here's full penetration to the vanes adult cow 30yds with a 40lb bow, 25-26" draw, 330gr and low 200fps shuttle t head. Dead within 100yds, great blood. I have a couple other low poundage pics I could dig up from youth setups. An adult draw length of 28-30", 50lbs and fixed head would be elk soup.

40lb bow, 25-26" draw, 330gr and low 200fps

I have seen this work a lot on deer. Not a 60 yard setup, but reasonable archery ranges, it really doesn't take much beyond a good sharp point and good flight to zip through a rib cage.

Early 2000’s Hoyt cybertec, 48#, 25.5” draw, 410gr arrow and a montec

I ordered the 60 pound mods from Lancaster yesterday. I’ll be swapping those in shortly. I’ll be sticking with the VF TKO 350 at about 422 grains.

I’d like to think I’ll be back to 70 by September but just in case this will be completely dialed in. Really excited about being able to shoot again. Going from shooting every day to not at all for 2 months was a downer.

 

[Mr.Ktm]

My 60 pound set up I was shooting around 425 grain I believe

 

[Beendare]

60# Compound, currently 470g

And my FOC is......Ha, I have no Effing idea.....but my BH's hit with my FP's at 50y plus

I'm only shooting a 420g arrow in my 50# recurve.

 

[josef]

I’ve been shooting my bow at 60 lbs all offseason. Arrows are ~430 grains going 290 fps. I have 75 lb mods that shoot my 500 grain arrows roughly the same speed. Not sure I’ll actually switch back.

What’s your draw length?

 

[doc holiday13]

I'm thinking of dropping to a 60# draw. I have a 31" draw. I'd be shooting a 340 spine at ~434g

 

[dennis502]

I'm shooting 350 spine Victory (VAP SS) with 100 grain points. Come out right at 450 grains at my length with 4 vanes, pin nocks, etc.

31.5" Its a gift....
