Default RE: Arrow weight change

As Buckbuster4ou stated you are a little light, but IMO not for hunting. You are less then 6 grains per pound which can void you bow warranty and equipment reliability came become an issue. At your current set up you are producing around 61 ft lbs of ke. Plenty for deer hunting. If you increase your arrow weight to 360/365 your gains in ke will be offset by your loss of velocity. However, you will gain momentum which equates to better penetration but your trajectory will change. If you plan to increase your weight by using a heavier broadhead you will increase your FOC which could give you better arrow control.
