Most people don't shoot anywhere near the poundage with their traditional bows that they do with compounds. A 400 gn arrow on a 70 lb compound is 5.7 grains per pound. The same 400 gn arrow on a 50 pound recurve is 8 grains per pound. Same arrow weight, but it's heavier in relation to the draw weight.
Thanks guys, Arthur, is there a shop in DFW area where you get you Trad suppplies? I am in Garland off Brodway and 30.
