I've shot them a few times, but they belonged to a friend. They flew like darts from his bow, and mine. I'm pulling [email protected], don't remember what his bow was but I think it was very close to the same poundage.

They seem to be very durable, but I have never found an arrow shaft I can't break (or loose).

Advertisements are just that. They may be that good for some folks, maybe not for others.

I can shoot a 100# bow, but I haven't tried the Grizzly sticks from it (I have a flatbow I'm pulling approximately 120# on, but I seldom shoot it--I like my shoulder and want to keep it). That does sound like a stretch, but I haven't tried it so I can't say. I'd think they are very adjustable with the weighting system, but I don't know about a 50# range.

I've shot maple, but it was several years ago. I don't remember what they averaged, but they were heavy. The ones I got must have been duds, because they broke easier than POC. I've heard they are very durable, but mine weren't.

I like 8-10 grains per lb of draw weight. I've heard of folks shooting 12-14 grains, but I don't really see the point in it, especially with whitetail and a 60# bow. Pulling 60#, you would most likely punch through one like a paper sack with a 300 grain arrow at 20 yds.

There's lots of woods that can be used for arrows--I've shot ash, maple, hickory, sitka spruce, chundoo/lodgepole pine, Norwegian pine, douglas fir, Port Orford Cedar, and probably a few I can't remember. I've also shot laminated shafts. I've always gone back to Port Orford Cedar. I don't think red cedar will make a decent arrow. Lots of primitive archers use river cane and rose shoots. If you want to take the time to make them, river cane seems to make a good durable arrow.

I believe it's TBB Volume II that has the most information on arrows--I have all three, but haven't read them in a long time. Think I'll break them out again.
