What does your hunting arrow weigh?

[TerryM]

I was thinking of trying a lighter hunting arrow this year for deer only, something around 350 grains ( with an 85 gr slick trick ) for a 27" 60 lb bow. I am normally closer to 400 grs on my hunting setup. Anybody go that light on deer and if you do whats the penetration like?

[MDBUCKHUNTER]

377 gr. total weight. No problem what so ever with penetration.

It's all about shot placement.

[Washington Hunter]

434 grains.

was 470 but now 650g. a much harder hitting arrow

[Kanga]

410

My arrows are around 530 grains. Like said above, it's all about shot placement... until you screw up. I'm not perfect, so I like having insurance.

450 grns out of a 55-60 lb bow with a 26 inch draw length. I get around low 200 fps with it.

That will be a great deer killer! I have used CX 3D Select's that have weighedaround 340 grains from a 65# 28" rig for the past several years. Tipped with a Rocket Steelhead 100, I've had complete penetrationwith every shoton dozens of deer, some of which have weighed in excess of 300#. Shot distances have ranged from15 to 42 yards. You'll be in great shape! By the way, not a single deer has taken more than 60 yards on me!

Good luck and good huntin'
