I shoot 300gr. at 60lbs 65 ft/lbs of Ke. and I am sure it won't bounce off the skin!!
Not saying arrows will bounce off. What we're suggesting is that at 5 gr. per poundyour bow may very well be the next one to explode.[:'(][&:]
Most bows these days can handle 5gpp arrows without difficulty. No bow manufacturer in their right mind would warranty a bow down to 5gpp if it any way posed a danger to the shooter. Give the bow companies some credit.
5 gpp is the standard warranty, meaning if they do explode...they will replace it. If all these bows could easily handle 5 gpp, warranties wouldnt even really be needed.
heavier arrows absorb more of the bows energy, meaning less energy left to do damage on the bows components. very simplistic physics.
5 gpp can easily be shot, but is the BARE minimum...unless you are the infamous king, he is allowed much less.
