Default Correct Arrow Weight

I Am Current Upgrading To A Mathews Switchback Which Is 33" ATA, Set At 60 lbs And 28" Draw. Manufacture Specifications Indicated IBO Of 318 fps At 70 lbs And 30" Draw Using 350 Grain Arrows. With This Information In Mind, How Should I Go About Determining The Best Arrow Weight? The Bow Is Exclusively Used For Hunting. I Am Currently Shooting Beman ICS 400 Hunters With 100 Grain Broadheads. I Am More Concerned About Accuracy And Energy (Pass Throughs) Rather Than Speed. Any Ideas Regarding Type & Weight Of Arrows Would Be Greatly Appreciated.

Beman ics matrix 400. I think they are straighter, and I know that they are heavier, than the ics 400's. They will group better past 30 yards, too. Under 30, you really should be ok. If worried, shoot a cut to the tip head. G5 montec or simmons sharks fly best for my set up.

I like and use Game tracker 400 and friend uses the 350 they are also heavier then normal...the straightest and heaviest are the easton Kinkic Engery 2's but you will paya premium.

You should try the Carbontech Rhino's... 10+ grains per inch and hit like a fresight train w/ the Landshark 125's leading the way
