A heavy aluminum is less than that in most cases.Your arrow combo 500grs for a 60# bow is almost what I call too heavy. Shoot something 350 and no more than 400 will get you better flight and the ke might come out the same or better.
Lol!! Tell a traditional bowhunter this BS!!! You can get close and kill elk at 15 to 25 yards, It just takes some work. For the guys shooting traditional bows a heavy arrow Is a must.

My max range on most days Is 20 to 25 yards with my recurve. Sometimes It's 20, other times It's 25 yards. Depends on how I'm shooting at the time.
