what is your arrow weight and bow poundage? whats your foc? im probably going to buy some aluminum arrows for hunting and im trying to decide on what size i want.
Somewhere around 495 grains out of my 49-50 pound bows.
I shoot a 60 lb long bow. My woodies are an 80 lb spine 32 inch doug fir shaft with a 190 gr cutthroat BH. Total weight about 650gr. My carbons are a 32 inch GT 7595 with a 150 gr point adapter with a 200 gr Grizzly Kodiak BH. Total weight around 750 gr.
I like about a 600 grain arrow off a low 50s pound bow.
Last year was carbon express heritage 150 shafts at 29 inches with 200 gr cutthroat broadheads out of a 45 pound 59 kodiak, total arrow weight of 525. This year will be a 46 pound wesley special with a 470 grain arrow, 250 grain cutthroat broadheads
This will be my first year hunting with a low(er) weight bow. I'm shooting a 42@28 Super Shrew, and settled on 29" Gold Tip Traditional 600's, with a 6" wrap, 4x4" feathers, 50 gr insert, and a 150 gr broadhead. Weigh out at 460 grs / 10.9 gpp / around 20% foc / & about 32.5 lbs ke (or whatever its called) -- All the math according to Stu's calc.
They fly great and I'm shooting as accurately as I ever have. Just did some broadhead testing tonight, and very happy. We'll see how the deers like them here in about 6 months. :)
Just over 10gpp for me off my 50# bows.

I like 9gpp for 3-D a little more if I was hunting
Im at 11 gpp....40# bow and a 440 grain aluminum shaft.
For deer and turkeys...perfer 11+ gpp...25+% EFOC...2 blade BH's @ 45#'s at my draw length.
oh about 450-500 grain all up shooting river cane out of my horse bow with knapped heads at #50 at my draw of 27''
50# @ 26" longbow. 520 grain carbon arrow with FOC of 27.5%
for glass lam bows around 65# and 650 grain arrows, for osage selfbows around 60# and 675 grain arrows
I'm shooting about 530 grains out of a 55 lb. bow.
563 grains from 47# longbow.
Usually my arrows fall into 550-700 Grains. My hunting bow is 55 lbs.
I dont really pay attention to GPP as long as its over 9. I never figured out FOC because frankly, its irrelevant if my arrows are flying good.
Shooting 54 pounds at 30'. Arrows are 488grs, so right around 9gr per pound of draw weight. Plenty for whitetails in the Midwest.
570 grns
53# longbow
525 from 47 lbs. RC
550-695 from 53# longbow
665 from 53@29 recurve
650 to 675 from a 44# ASL around 18 to 19 FOC.
Check my signature below........
My hunting bows are 50#-52# at 30" and I personally prefer around 12 GPI so my arrows are about 600gr including 200gr heads.
875 to 1000+ grains from a 75# Blackwidow longbow
Lex
10.7 gpp
specs are in my signature
I shoot 55-60 pound bows and really like the 9.5ish gpp weight or around 500-525 grain arrow. 2117 would be a good shaft for your set up
42-45# @26" 12gpp 300gr up front, bloodline 480.
475 gr. at 50#.
490 grs total from my 42 pound whip. I can tell you that very sharp Grizzlies and this set up work great on our Ohio white tails.
548 grains out of a 49# at 28" A&H ACS. 11.2 gpp
785 gr from 58# bows
A shave over 13 GPP
