Optimal grains per pound for whitetail?
#11
I shoot a 458g arrow @74lbs for pull. I'm shooting 6.189 GPLB. Another archer could be shooting a a 255g arrow @ 37 Lbs of pull and they'd be shooting 6.081 gplb. These two setups are very close as far gplb but not even on the same scale if you figured out the KE for both
Good point, maybe I should have put a little disclaimer at the bottom of my post...."Assuming a typical adult male compound bow setup..."

An arrow aroung 350g would put you at 6.49gpp, but whether or not you can find an allumunum shaft that fits that descriptions is beyond me.

2117 xx75's he is shooting
Anyways. I think I will have to ask Tom. I'll order from him anyways, if I get any arrows. But remember what I said last night, no money. So it will be awhile before I get any, if I do at all.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
