What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

I was thinking of trying a lighter hunting arrow this year for deer only, something around 350 grains ( with an 85 gr slick trick ) for a 27" 60 lb bow. I am normally closer to 400 grs on my hunting setup. Anybody go that light on deer and if you do whats the penetration like?

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

377 gr. total weight. No problem what so ever with penetration.

It's all about shot placement.

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

434 grains. ;)

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

was 470 but now 650g. a much harder hitting arrow

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

410

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

My arrows are around 530 grains. Like said above, it's all about shot placement... until you screw up. I'm not perfect, so I like having insurance.

450 grns out of a 55-60 lb bow with a 26 inch draw length. I get around low 200 fps with it.

That will be a great deer killer! I have used CX 3D Select's that have weighedaround 340 grains from a 65# 28" rig for the past several years. Tipped with a Rocket Steelhead 100, I've had complete penetrationwith every shoton dozens of deer, some of which have weighed in excess of 300#. Shot distances have ranged from15 to 42 yards. You'll be in great shape! By the way, not a single deer has taken more than 60 yards on me!

Good luck and good huntin'

Mine are around 460 grains now. I used to hunt with 390 grain maximas. The worked great. I switched to a Vulcan and was able to go up to 460 grains and still shoot 25 fps faster than my Diamond Hornet with the Maximas.

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

Currrently, 393 grains with 100 gr. heads. Very soon, I'm going to the ST Axis which should kick this up to about 406 gr. I also have some light arrows that I would limit to turkeys and antelope only - also 3-D. They weigh 321 grains with 75 gr. heads.

Hunting arrow is 360 gr, Beman Black Max 25.5 in DL @62lb

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

This year I'll be 380gr. @ 285fps. w/ a 100 gr. bh.
I think it will get the job done. Yes?

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

This is a good question.The recomended weight is calculated on the weight and speed of the arrow leaving the bow.At testing, theres no peep, no string whiskers, no nothing. So couldnt a guy shave off a couple grains to make up for the way the string is slowed by all the accessories?

RE: What does your hunting arrow weigh?
 

370gr, 26" DL, 70lbs, pass through every time.

I just looked up your GPI for that shaft in the Easton website, multiplyed x 27 and added in the average weight of vanes, nocks and your tip weight.
