Title: 500 grains too light??
Post by: Bullfrog 1 on January 22, 2013, 08:22:00 PM
Trying some 55-75 gt's with my 60 pound Dwyer. They are coming up about 500 grains. Think they are a bit light. What you guys think. My 250 heritage is 555.  Bill

Too light for what.  That is above 8.33 Gpp so It is well within the wheel house of that bow.  If it flies true then you should be fine.

It wouldn't be too light an arrow for me. This is close to the weight I hunt with but my bows are 46-48 pounds.

I shoot GT Trad blems at about 480 grains.  I've shot bou, deer, and bull elk with them.  I do stick w/2 blade for elk.  Bow is about 57# at 26 so my arrows aren't exactly fast, but the tips are sharp.

I think you are good to go.If they fly good,and they are sharp,grip it and rip it.Best of luck.

My wife shoots 27" Axis with 200 grains up front. They come in at just about 500 grains every time. She shoots thru big game (deer and bear) with her 44# bow effortlessly.
