Default RE: Question on Shafts

IBO speeds are calculated at 5 grains of arrow weight per pound of draw weight I believe. So, for a 80lb bow they would be shooting 400 grain arrows. Most consider IBO specs to be the very low end of acceptable hunting arrows.

That being said, the arrows you were shooting do appear under spined, but they are not too light if you used a 100 grain head are larger and probably haven't caused you any damage.
