Well, nevermind. Looks like I can't shoot an arrow weighing less than 420 grains, anyhow. Good thing I looked at the regs again.

Washington is a 6gpp state.

Lame.
Not that I'm advocating it but has anyone ever seen an officer in the field with a scale?

You know, I thought about the same thing.

Unless I got stopped by a warden in his most pissed off mood, the chances of him weighing my arrows are slim to none.

I don't know...

Here is the trajectory of basically the same speeds and weights you were thinking about.


There isn't much difference when you look at just the hit/miss distance within a kill zone at 40 yards.


Not even 2" difference at the apex of the arc when the 40 yard pin is used.


365 gr arrow at 305 fps
Excellent. That is exactly where I was going with my post earlier.

You're lucky. In New York, the warden would not only carry the scale, he'd use it and if you were one grain under, you'd be ticketed. I've never heard of anyone getting away with even the smallest infraction in this state, when it comes to game laws.
