RE: Arrow too heavy??
 

Agreed with Dmil and ei, No such thing as too heavy, think spine, not weight. I thinks he's moderately light Va.

I'm shooting a 465 grain arrow at 62lbs out of my 82nd at 280 fps, just shy of 82 ftlbs of KE. Double THWAACK! Rocks the targets.

I have two different arrow set up to hunt

GT CAA at 440 grains flying 295 FPS = 85 ft lbs KE
GT 22's at 417 grains flying 301 FPS = 84 ft lbs KE

This is all done at 63 lb draw weight. Ya, 63 lbs and I can still hit em like a truck.[8D]

I love this bow.

You shoot 30.5" DL, right? Must be nice[8D]

30 inch with a d loop so ya. And, the monkey thing, also comes in very handy with setting treestands.[8D]

Rob tried to shoot my bow the other night, but do the length and the night setting in he choose to let down. Letting down, even properly fit is a challenge. The 101 likes to send more than keep.[8D]

yeh how would you deal with my issue?? 26.5" draw!!!!! it sucks!!!

RE: Arrow too heavy??
 

I have the same problem....I just shoot a heavier arrow, spined correctly, with a sharp BH....dont care about speed....Hunting arrows are a finished wt of 460 grns...still quick enough out of the Black Ice IMO....dont know what my speed is, just know it hits where I aim and will kill critters!

Too Heavy, isn't that like too much money.....

At some point, he may be too heavy, but that 370-something isn't bad at all, and if he's shooting it well, then why change. Trying to go LOW Weight isn't always the best way.

WHAT EV!!!! the proof is in the freezer and hangin' on the wall!!! NUFF SAID !!!go shoot your telephone poles,i'm THRILLEDfor you !!! all you guys please explain this to me,if slower heavier arrows penetrate better than lighter faster arrows,why are the target makers building denser thicker targets which they claim are "rated for 400fps bows ??.seems like if the old style targets stopped your "target rocking" 250fps arrows, surely they'll stop these puny lightweight arrows,right ???? HHHMMMMMMMM.......
