[quote]ORIGINAL: Straightarrow

straight arrow, I am pulling more than 7 grains per inch and my arrows are flying great. I am hitting a coke can bottom per say out to 40 yards consistently.
7 grains per inch is a pretty light arrow. 7 grains per pound would be a much better choice for most people.

Straightarrow...I was think the same thing you just posted above, glad you clarified that for him. Maybe he either said/typed it wrong or he has the numbers mixed up.

7 grains per inch is very light if he is trying to get KE up.

6.5 to 7 grains per pound of draw weight is dead on in my opinion. I'm thinking he needs to find an arrow around 8.9 to 9.5 grains per inch of arrow lengthto get that weight, not 7 grains per inch of arrow length.

There is alot of new stuff and formulas for any bow hunter to remember, just want to make this crystal clear for him and others reading this post.
