There is simply no need for ultra heavy arrows, even with my setup or less powerful ones. All this ho-ha over arrow weight ignores more important aspects, IMO, like proper broadhead selection and the ability to tune your bow. In fact, I'll argue till the cows come home that poor choices in broadheads will lose you more game than light arrows ever will. I laugh when people suggest to me I should use a 400-500grain arrow.When the time comes I need to use 3 pins just to get out to 25 yds,that will be the moment I buy a recurve. Then I'll actually have a real reason to use such heavy projectiles.
Well, maybe I am underestimating you. I will admit this. Have you taken dozens of large deer/elk/boar with a bow? If yes, then I humbly appoligize for my suggestions as the proof is in the pudding.
My experience, or lack thereof, has no bearing in the arguement. But, unlike some internet cowboys, I've got no problems disclosing actual numbers-6 whitetails w/ a bow. That's it. Not the 70 something some claim. But again, still does not negate the fact that I don't quite need 10gpp inch arrows to chase to anything bigger than a whitetail.
I'll be sure to let all know how my 298 grain lightspeeds do on Russian boars this summer[8D]
