Default RE: How Heavy Should My Arrows Be?

If you're worried about being too heavy, and want to pick up a little more speed, you can always trim some excess off the shaft. Most times an inch in front of your rest, at full draw, is sufficient. If you have the cash you can always get some 400's, which are made for the 67# range.

You need at least 65 ft-lbs of ke for elk, so the experts say. Sitting at 62, you might be better off just to leave it and work on shot placement. I'm sure you know, the farther you shoot, the more exaggerated a bad shot becomes. Besides, from all of the people I've spoken to about the subject, mosttimes elk will offer a close shot.
