Default RE: Should I freak out!!??

at 73lb you need to be shooting an arrow weighing atleast 365gr to meet the 5 grain per pound minimum for most warrentys...

will the 21grs make a difference to your bow or your own saftey? i have no idea...i spend too much on a bow...and my life and body and eyes etc are all too important for me to risk...

dont know why the shop keeps selling you arrows that are all goofed up...they should know with that short of an arrow and that heavy draw that weight will be an issue....

quik and some others that shoot under 5gr per pound are shooting the HCA iron mace(or other bows) that are rated to be safe shooting arrows under 5grs per pound of draw weight....

best option i see for you is to drop the poundage and play it safe....or do nothing and hope all goes well....or get yet more arrows...i still cant figure out why a shop would send you out the door with arrows that arent upto the 5gr per pound....just seems odd to me....
