An all day affair, you ask? I've been playing around with this stuff for over 30 years. That's half the fun of shooting archery in the first place. Learning. Recently I got a new bow. In two days I had 7 different drop-away rests on the thing to see what I might want on it. I don't consider it wasted time. I learned a lot in the process.

Arrow weight is not the criteria you should use when picking an arrow. It is only one. Proper spine is the most important. There are a multitude of different weight arrows, both carbon and aluminum from a dozen manufacturers. You can get a properly spined arrow that is light so you have more speed. You can also get one that is heavier to get more momentum. So long as you stay above you bow manufacturer"s minimum weight per pound of draw you should be just fine. This is usually 5 or 6 gr/lb.

A decent place to check out arrow specs is www.bowjackson.com. Just put in your bow specs and arrow length needed and it shows what arrows are recommended.
