i know im going to get many opinions but looking for some advice on arrow wieght. I shoot a whispstik mojo 55@28 i drao 27 going to be getting cx heritage 250s 175 grain broadhead 3 5" fletch thinking of using brass inserts to up arrow wieght and foc if i use the 100 grain insert it will be total arrow wieght around 585 grains if i use the 50 grain 535 grains may max range is 25 yards would a 585 grain arrow out of a roughly 53lb bow be to heavy what you guys think? thanks for the :help:
Too heavy? Nope thats a good weight, providing thats where they tune-in at. A 250 is a stiff shaft, I bet you could do it with a 150.

It should be a very good weight.I have 48# and 53# Mojo Sticks and shoot 700 gr arrows out of both.That is heavier than many people like but the bows handle it well and I try to keep shots 25 yds and under also,so it just isn't an issue.
Your bow should shoot those arrows with good speed and it is a good hunting weight arrow.
No way!
Anytime your arrows weigh in 8-10 grains per pound you will be fine. Your arrow should work real well for you.
they'll do the trick,and keep that broad head sharp.....I shoot a 625gr. arrow off my 53lb northern mist longbow and flys great.
My form must be terrible because I keep getting told to drop spine on arrows for my weight and draw length. Usually between 45-55#@28.
90's, 3355's, and 150's did nothing but frustrate me. Carbons I have left are GT 5575 with 300 front, and they work fine.
90% of the arrows in my rack are either bamboo or woodies and they all spine out between 65-75#.
When I need to weaken them, I add # up front.
Go with what works for you. I may lose a bit of speed, but they land where they are pointed with authority.
585 would be great; and my choice. Arrow should be at least 29.5" long and about 620 grains as described.
Within stickbow range - a heavy arrow is the ticket! Just make sure your arrow flight is good - that is the arrow recovers fast and the shaft quickly follows the point. Sharp BH - done deal. H
