RE: Speed, or Weight
I have tried one of the lighter carbon arrows (CX 200@7g/" ) total weight with 100g field tip @ 351g, I' ve also tried one of the heavier carbon arrows (Terminator Hunter@11g/" ) total weight with 100g field tip @ 453g. in my new Bow. The KE difference is less then 1# (62-63# range) and momentum is within 1/100' s however the heavier arrow is 33fps slower (249fps vs 282fps) and also the heavier arrow has alot more drop, that all being said I like the lighter arrow as I' m not gaining any KE or Momentum with the heavier arrow and with the lighter I gain 33fps and alot less drop...........The lighter arrow makes alittle more noise through quieter with leaches added. I have a new VFT 60#/28"
Anyone have any addition input on arrow selection/weight or any other considerations? etc.? Any advantages to heavier arrow? As stated above KE and Momentum are real close, heavier arrow is 33fps slower and drops more?????
