RE: can i shoot these arrows in my bow
 
I estimate about a 300 grn arrow (less if you have feathers). That is about 4 grns per pound.

I would not shoot that arrow out of a 2 yr old High country. You are in the danger zone IMO and it has to be pretty loud.

Your short 27" draw may help a bit but still not good if you ask me.

You should keep the arrow 350 or over to be safe and keep the noise down.

my arrow should way around 280 and would be well above dry firing.
well, it is above dry firing, compared to really dry firing the bow without any arrow. But not by much. I think you' re treading on dangerous territory and you or someone near you when you' re shooting, may wind up getting hurt. I' ve been hurt by bows that dry fired by accident (string breaking, etc). I' d hate to think what would happen if the bow blew up on you and you had a hunting arrow on the string when it happened.

high country tells me that they dry fire this bow so many times without a problem but you know they will probably tell anything to make you happy but maybe i should just stick with the beamans ics i really love the speed of the speed pro 5.5 but saftey should always be first no matter what and one more thing how can they shoot these arrows out of the new ssr high country.

xi used to have a machine they would take to shows and dry fire the heck outta of a nemisis, i forget how many times , but bows ARE NOT made for the end user to dry fire ! so play it safe and listen to what these guys have to say! a sliver of carbon arrow in your hand ,not to mention what could happen if the bow blew up ,would put you out of action for quite some time.
