Default Educate me on correct arrow weight needed

I've always been a run of the mill shooter...I normally pick the standard set up and I've never measured my arrows +heads...its the trad. blood in me

I have a set-up I'm working with...and I really need you guys to tell me...

What your arrow length, draw weight, arrow weight /with head is...and the arrow you use?

Tell me your set-up...tell me your over all arrow weight if you know...

This information will help me to better understand a good baseline for where I need to be...and what the guy at the bow shop was telling me..I rely on you guys more....I know you grain counters can help me[8D]

Thanks!

Brian

I think thisall comes down to WHAT IS RIGHT..and the right set-up will keep my arrow under control with some weight behind it.

I'm waiting for Steve to tell me to simmer down and grab my snaked up stick bow and shut up.

Hi Steve - 2 days left...looking for a gun kill tomorrow...we'll see...

Diamond Marquis, 29", 61#, 480 gr. arrows are 29 1/2" I think(not 100% sure on the length) they bury deep in that target.

Can you imagine getting hit by Steve's Snuffer with that 2216...right in the shoulder blade.??? That just feels painful to read it!
