Default RE: Hunting arrows

I have used 350 grain arrows for 2 years at 300 fps ! They shoot good and blow through deer !

Decided to test a heavier arrow this coming year and set up my new bow with a 440 grain arrow ! I am shooting about 274 fps with them ! What I have found is my bow is quieter and has less vibration !!

Surprisingly.........looking a a ballastic's calculator ...........the heavier arrows should only shoot an inch lower at 20 yrds ! As distance increases the heavier arrows still have more drop........but do start evening the margin at farther distances !

Aslo ........while both start off with similar KE........as distance increases the light arrows start losing more energy......the heavier arrows maintain their KE better !

As far as target shooting.......so far.........I can't visibly see a big difference ! The arrows at 274 are still getting there pretty quick !!
