Default RE: Pennsylvania 400 grain arrow minimum.

Pennsylvania has a reputation for keeping their primitive seasons primitive. Flintlock and roundball were the only things allowed in muzzleloader season for many years. Just think what you would be faced with if they went that route with bow regulations. Instead of griping about 400 grain minimums, you'd all be hunting with selfbows, cane arrows and trade points! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Tribalscream, you asked for weights on crossbow bolts. You might be able to make use of this info in the PA crossbow 'discussions.' Tenpoint crossbows has an arrow chart on their site, in PDF format, showing weights for 20&quot; bolts, carbon inserts, feather fletch and 100 grain points: 2216, 378 grains; 2315, 381 grains; 2219, 416 grains. It also shows speeds with their crossbows using the 2219's ranging from 270-312 fps. With the 2216's, speeds range from 280-323 fps.
