Default RE: Heavy arrow, more KE....light arrow, more speed..??
ORIGINAL: Germ

I shoot a 475 grain arrow. I may switch to the 140 grain Montec next year. 490 grain arrow

IMO shoot the heaviest arrow you can, with todays bows speed is not a factor.

I am still shooting around 250 FPS

I am 11 for 11 with this setup, 9 were pass thrus. Two buried in the opposit shoulder.
I'm with you on this one Germ, I am shooting 476 grain arrows (31.5 in Beman 340 ICS CamoHunters w/100grn Montecs)at 275fps and have had nothing but pass throughs.

I like a heavy arrow, as others have said, it's quieter to shoot, less strain on the bow and does the job but good!
