Redneck,

You don't have to go up in bow weight to use a heavier arrow. You won't have the arrow cast of a lighter arrow but, it will make your bow more efficient. But, if you're going to hunt Griz, you'll need to jump up in bow weight any way. At least 55 to 60 lbs draw at your draw length. So, you will need a new matched set of arrows for that draw weight. There are plenty of arrow combinations out there. As I said earlier, A hard wood shaft is the easiest way to acheive a heavy arrow. When tuned properly, they fly just as true as any carbon or aluminum.

O yaI forgot anout you have to use more weight for bears.[&:] Well, i don't really agree with you on wthe wood shafts. I have used them before andthe bow was perfectly in tune and was shoooting awesome with aluminums. But, then when we tried out cedar shafts we couldn't hit he broadside of a barn. Then I looked down the shaft of them and they were all warped. I do not know about the hardwoods but them cedars sure didn't work for me.

RE: Arrow Weight
 

If the cedars were warpped then they need to be straightend again. Plus, you have to make sure you are shooting the correct spine wood arrow. The best way to do this is by bare shaft shooting them to 15 yards. Don't give up on the wood shafts. They are very accurate and better looking than carbon or aluminums.

RE: Arrow Weight
 

Yes they were the right spine. How do you straighten them? I like the aluminums with the wood grain pattern;).

RE: Arrow Weight
 

Look down the shaft from the fletchings to the point. Apply gentle pressure opposite the bend until it becomes straight. If the arrows you used were that warped, try getting shafts from elite arrows. Great arrows at a great price.
