My brother just got his set up and his arrows weigh 374 gr. and he's pulling 57#. The bow is maxed out at this weight. Is this arrow too heavy for 57#?? Does he need to go lighter?

I dont think there is any such thing as too heavy but he is going to lose some speed the heavier it gets.
I think 350 gr. is about mid range so he seems to be a little on the heavy side but it sure isnt going to hurt anything. He could always go to a lighter weight broadhead to pick up a little more speed though.
OF course it's not too heavy. If anything, I'd like to see it just a tad higher for hunting. He's only running about 6.5 grains per pound. I'd rather see 7-9. It's easier on the equipment, makes the bow quieter and will shoot through Dodge engine blocks. For me, he's as low as I'd want to see him.

Yep-gotta agree with david.Everywhere you go,you see posts of bows blowing up.That's happeneing for a reason and maybe it's because y'all are shooting such light arrows,after time it takes it's toll
Arrow too heavy??
