Lighter arrows Result
 
I was away for a few days and i posted about switching to lighter arrows and this is what my archery pro shop owner gave me that

Shot out of a30 inch draw and 70lbs that
a 488 grain arrow shot 76.2 kinetic energy
a 302 grain arrow shot 74.8 kinetic energy
i am not sure of the fps diffrence but i know in my bow i was useing the goldtip 3555 with 100 grain tip at a27.5 draw at 70lbs and shoting 313 fps and switched to the goldtip ultra lite and know i am shoting 386 fps that is much better for that longer shot if needed in my book.

HEHE YEAH? and also a 302 grain arrow at 70# is considered dryfire! You're supposed to shoot at least a 350 grain at 70#.

It seems crazy to me to but as long as they will take care of it if it breaks why not

OK so let me get this straight you could shoot a 210 grain arrow out of that bow at 70 lbs right?! Imagine the speed you would get with that!! But the only thing is can you build arrows that light? If you could that would be awesome!

Ya i am kinda digging it even if its not a race it looks and sounds pretty impressive when you sling one at the techno hunt screens and everybody has to look in to see what the heck your shooting to make that loud pop but all of that dont matter if we dont place that broad head where we need it but at that speed i think next year a 60 yrd shot wont be a question.
