advice on arrow weight brothers
 
i shoot a 60# recurve and i was wondering what do u think a good weight would be for me so as to get good penetration. i use G5 B-52 heads (cut on contact tips). currently shoot 2018 allum. w/5 inch feathers and light carbons w/ 4 inch feathers. carbons seem to penetrate deeper in my blackhole target but not by much. length of arrows is 29 inch.

I personally don't think carbon and recurve belong in the same sentence.[:'(]

I have come to accept aluminum and recurve in the same sentence though if it helps your decision any.:D

carbons actually fly really good ofmy shelf. i think it's because their skinnier than allum. and this = less surface area= less resistance. does that seem logical or just a lot of hot air. anyway what do u think would be the weight i should go with for max penetration on my 60# bow.
