I believe the rule is 5 grains per pound of draw weight, which would mean you could shoot a 300 grain arrow. That is very dangerous though. I believe the safe zone is shooting an arrow is 6 grains per pound of draw weight, which means you could shoot an arrow that is 360 grains.
That's right,but I don't feel like it's dangerous to shoot at5 gr per pound,but for hunting I always recommend 6 gr per pound(Most people don't like to go as light as I do)..That is a perfect blend speed and energy.I'm shooting 5.3 gr per pound,and it isn't bothering my bow.I haven't found a test animal yet,but the backyard buck has payed dearly.
