Minimum arrow weight
 

I recently purchse a PSE Nova L3 and it says on the bow that the minimum arrow weight should be 360 grains. I shoot CX300's and those are 8 grains per arrow inch and I am shooting a 28 inch arrow, therefore the weigth of the arrow is 224 grains. When I add a 100 grain field tip it increases the overall weight to 324. Since the arrow weight is under 360 will it do damage to the bow? The Carbon Express website has a chart that says I should be shooting a CX200 which is even lighter than the arrow I am using now. I don't understand this. Can someone please clear this up for me?
Thanks!

Don't forget to add your fletchings, knock, and insert to the weight. If you include those, you are proably over 360.

Most bow manufacturers recommend 6gr/lb of draw weight. That means total arrow weight. I assume your bow maxes at 60lbs. Therefore they say shoot at least 360gr. That's for warranty purposes. IBO sets a minimum of 5gr and many shoot this to get more speed. Most hunting setupswill give you somewhere between 320 and 450gr of arrow. All depends on shafts, points, etc. A good site to see this for yourself is www.bowjackson.com You can put data in there and come up with all kinds of options. Try it.

My Carbon Express 300 cut at 29" is 349 grains. Thats with a 100 grain tip and feathers though. If you have vanes I'd be at about 360 grains.

Good luck!
