Default RE: Arrow Question

Rebel is right about the width and I looked ut the min. weight for Horton and it is 415 grains, but they cheat on their speed chart and use a 385 grain arrow to get speed.

There's More to an Arrow than Speed
*PLEASE NOTE: Arrows of less than 415 grains should NOT be shot from any compound crossbow. Using arrows weighing less will void the warranty of the bow, could damage the bow and could result in personal injury. The results shown below reflect using a 385 grain arrow which was used for test purposes only.

Tests conducted with a 200-pound Hunter Max 200 and a 100-grain point. Actual results may be more or less, depending on particular arrows used.
