Are my arrows too light?
87 pound draw weight, 30" draw length, 29 inch Gold Tip XT hunter carbons (75/95's)
75 grain heads. Ultra nock II on string with two "Bear Puffs" Is my arrow not heavy enough?? How many FPS should it be flying?? Thank you |
RE: Are my arrows too light?
Your spine should be just fine according to the GT size chart (cut and paste to address bar, javascript:sizingChart() ) I question why you shoot such a light head though. Have you calculated the foc? You may find better arrow flight as well as increased KE with a heavier head.
For instance, I shoot 7595 advantage pro hunters which are slightly heavier arrow then the xt. My shafts are 29.75" so ever so lightly longer and I shoot a 125g head and still my foc is only 10.18% Judging from what you've posted it appears your foc is only about 5.93% which is off the scale on the low end of the spectrum. A 125g head would bring you up 10.95% and greatly imporve arrow flight. If you want to play around with the foc calculator it's on the GT website http://www.goldtip.com/calculators/foc.asp As fior speed the only accurate way to calculate it is with a crono IMO. If you shop has one see if you can shoot through it. Once you have your arrow speed you can calculate the ke your bow produces. http://www.goldtip.com/calculators/kinetic.asp I think the arrows are just fine. Add a heavier head and you'll be in bussiness. |
