Default RE: What arrow weight for hunting?????

A more important concern than arrow weight is how well the arrow flies. Remember, the heavier the broadhead, the lighter the spine on the arrow. Point weight will change spine with all things being equal. I found that I have great arrow flight with 145 gr. broadheads. I tried 175gr. and my arrows didn' t fly as well. I' ll stick with the 145' s with less weight and opt for a clean entry into the animal. IMO , this will give better penetraition than a heavier arrow with poor flight characteristics. Dick
