Default Arrow help
I just boughta Bowtech Tribute. My old arrows are Beman ICS 400's. I weighed them with 100 gr field points and they came in at 400 grains. Ouch. Any ideas on a good hunting arrow that is lighter.

Thanks.

what's wrong w/ 400 grains? also what poundage are you shooting. you need the correct spine for your draw and poundage first. target weight comes later and is somewhat determined by your setup.

I'm pretty new to bowhunting (2 yrs) and I thought 400 grains was on the heavy side. I have a 27" draw length set at 70lbs.

Welcome to the forums!

400 grains is actually pretty light.
