Happy holidays everyone! I havn't posted for awhile but I think I'm starting to get closer to tuning my Hunter 2 which is 62 inches and 29 inch draw @ 54 lbs. I'm shooting 2020 aluminum Easton's cut at 31 inches. With the 165 grain field points the total arrow weight comes out to 615 grains.
With that info does anyone think they could tell me if that sounds about right or should I take some weight off? They seem to be flying straight enough but I'm wondering if that seems to heavy. I've heard a general weight rule of thumb is 50 grains per 10 lbs. So with these arrows I realize I'm about 50 some grains over weight?
Suggestions?
By the way I'm entering a 3D shootout here in Tucson this Saturday...pretty stoked about it. I'm expecting that there might be a few traditional shooters among the throngs of compound shooters or maybe I'll be the only stick and string there! Don't worry I will not be intimidated!
Thanks for reading this long post.
Your arrow weight looks pretty good to me. You could try some 125 grain points and see if you like the flight better. The lighter points could stiffen your arrow spine and change the flight in a way you don't want. But, at $1.50 for a dozen it's worth a try.
