Default RE: NEW TO TRADITIONAL NEED HELP

ORIGINAL: BILLY BULLDOG

That brings up another question that I have, roughly, how heavy should I be as far as total arrow weight? As of now I'm looking at approximately 400 grains. Thats if I go with a 100 grain broadhead. Now with that said, I normally shoot about 360grains finished product out of my Bowtech Allegiance VFT with out any issues. I realize that I'm comparing apples and oranges but it's all that I know at this point. I'm still stuck in the highspeed world, but I would like to keep my speed up as much as possible without compromising penetration. If that makes any sense.
My friend you have to change your thinking in this world. You need penetration. You need momentum. You want at least 10gr per pound draw. Only way to get momentum is to increase wieght. YOu want about a 600 grain arrow for penetration out of that bow. Don't worry about speed, so much as worry that you can hit what your aiming at. Light arrows are loud. A good setup, you can get off two shots if you ahve too, cause a heavy combo can be dead quiet. I bet ya I can out penetrate you with my 50lb bow with my 590gr arrows.
