RE: Is my arrow really heavy?
A good friend of you and I Joe did some pretty good extensive testing with heavy vs light arrows and what they do. I'll take his word for It any day, the man knows his stuff.
My dad also did some testing with light vs heavy arrows for testing penetration. His recurve kicked the heck out of his buddy's compound when It came to penetration. This was 15 years ago and the compound had the overdraw set up. I know If I was shooting a compound I'd be packing 600+ grains.
Each to their own though, we all have certain preferences
