i was wondering if any of you guys know if it is safe to shoot the new highcountry speed pro 5.5 gr per inch arrows in a regular carbon 4 runner extreme i really like these arrows they give me about 10 to 15 feet per second faster but i was wondering about dry firing and being hard on my bow.

I believe the industry standard is 5 grains of arrow for every pound of draw weight. As long as you stay at that weight, or more, you should be safe. That means, if you' re shooting 70 lbs, the minimum safe arrow for your bow must weigh 350 grains.

is that with or without broadheads

That' s the complete total arrow. What type of point is irrelevant.

i just talked to high country and the guy to me that with the speed pro 5.5 and 100 grain tip my arrow should way around 280 and would be well above dry firing.

Wear ear-plugs and safety glasses.

what do you mean wear saftey glasses and ear plugs i have shot one of my friends arrows and it didn' t seem like it was dryfiring but i just wasn' t sure if it was safe so i thought i would ask you guys but i feel alot better about shooting them since i talked to highcountry but do you think its still not safe.
