Arrow weight question

[peakrut]

Ok I buddy of mine had a scale and I weight my rage 2 blade it came out to 6 Grams.
The arrow (Carbon Express CX 200) with fletching, insert, and nock weighed in at 16 Grams.
Now if I converted this correctly the 6 came out at 92.5940 for the rage.
The arrow came out at 246.917.

Grand total of 339.41 so is this good for my setup on my hoyt single cam
60lb pull with 28.5 draw length? To light?
My arrow length if memory serves is 25 1/2 because of overdraw on my bow.
I promised myself once and for all I would get much better on the technical side.

Thanks.

Minimum recommended arrow weight for warrnaty pruposes is usually 5 grains per pound DW. That wouldbe a minimum of 300 grains for your DW. So no, not too light for the recommended minimums.

Thank You Bruce

Tony, along with that information, what is your speed? The arrow although on the light side, I wouldn't consider it too light unless your speed is way down as well. It's always better to have the heaviest arrow your bow can handle via spine however it would come at the cost of speed. There is always a happy medium.

For example, my hunting arrow (381 grains (only 50 gr heavier)) travels 305 fps, just shy of 80 fts of KE. More than adequate.

That's a flag right there. What's it supposed to be? Most heads are hevier than they're supposed to be. I don't think it matters other than the calculations unless it's really off.

Rob honestly I have no idea on the speed but I will get this checked out and let you know, Thanks buddy.
What poundage you at?

Nodog when I weighed it I did not have a pen or pencil so it may have been 6 point something but will try again Monday.

Thx
