Default RE: YOUR ARROW SPEED.. To light an ARROW, looks like to me

WHY, isn't that gonna ruin your bow?
eeerrrr...I can't speak for your bow, but it won't ruin mine, Just kidding, actually I shoot close to 6 grains per pound, 413 gr. for the most part, and haven't ever bothered to chrono them, but I was averaging almost 300 fps (sometimes over actually) with an arrow that was about 5.2 grains per pound with my lil' 29" draw. But I feed my bow a steady diet of heavier arrows lately, since I switched to ACC's. I think you will reduce your long term bow life feeding it a steady diet of light arrows, but I think the differences aren't as pronounced as some would like you to believe (otherwise most of the big manufacturers would not waranty their bows for 5 gr. per pound arrows).
