Default RE: Is my set up adequate for whitetail?
ORIGINAL: SteveBNy

I shoot 420gr from a 53lb recurve with no problems. Lots of trad hunters take whitetails with 400 grns.
Great flying arrow, sharp broadhead and hit them in the vitals = deed dear with passthru.
Only reason I would shoot heavier then 8 gr/lbfor deerwould beto quiet a noisy bow - but then I would not have a bow that required it.

I think a better question is why not shoot a heavier arrow of 10-12gr/pound of pull? I mean, there are pluses all around. Quieter, better penetration, more FOC usually. I am not sure why people would want to shoot a 400gr arrow?
