Default RE: Correct Arrow Weight

This is sort of a tough question to answer as Zach has just shown. Many companies will insure their bows down to 5 grains per pound of draw weight though I don't really see the need for an arrow that light in bowhunting situations. Generally, I think an arrow that puts out good KE and momentum numbers to be the best route to follow. In my experiencecombining that along with a relatively flat trajectorytypicallyresults inarrows in the 6 to 7 grains per pound of draw weight range. In your situation that would be between 360 and 420 grains. I would be tempted to aim closer to the 360 mark since your draw length and draw weight combined are a little bit lower than average.
