How many shoot 11-12 gr. per pound. I got about 3.5 dozen of Beman MFX Classics 500. I use the 75 gr. insert and my heads are 150- 170 gr. Just picked up a nice Timber Ghost that is lighter in draw than what ive been shooting. would like to keep trajectory close to my other bows.
I shoot at least that. I like 600ish grain arrows out of 50ish pound bows
I sometimes shoot over 15 gpp...all depends on what works

630 and 50# bow. Works great for me.
It is what I use in my 57-60#
Thanks brothers!
563 grain arrow from 47# longbow....11.9787 gpp.
560 from a 44lb. Longbow.
Usually 11-12gpp for Doug Fir's, 40-48#'s. can get 10-11 with spruce.
So I guess 10-12, mostly around 11.
11-12 seems like the perfect combination of speed, trajectory, penetration and noise. It brings out the good manners in any bow that I have owned.
All mine range 12-14gpp. Works for me.
Personnally with woods 10-11 is good. 63-67# bows.

It's hard to argue with this statement.... :thumbsup:
I'm shooting Doug Fir at 570+ from 50@26. That's about 11.5 gpp.
I shoot a little over 11 gpp...works great for me.
a little over 12 for me. 57# bow 705 grain arrow.
Quite, stable, forgiving and hits hard.
I shoot 610 gr out of a 55# recurve, like me some weigh behind my bh
For hunting I'm using 650gr out of a 51# bow = 12.75.
I am shooting cedar arrows that are 30 inches with a 125 grain zwickey up front out of a 45# @ 28 recurve. They weigh from 495 to 511 grains total. If I calculated right they are 16 grains per inch total
550gr. out of a 50# @29in. bow
I shoot 565 grains out of a 54 lb longbow. I tried adding some 1/4" nylon braid cord to the inside of my carbon express heritage 150's to add some extra weight and to quiet things down since switching to 3 fingers under... and WOW ! The noise was gone and the arrows are stealthy quiet and really penetrate. I also noticed how much better they fly in windy conditions too. I have no idea how much extra weight that I've added to the arrow, and really don't care since this setup will be used only for hunting in Missouri this fall at distances of less than 20 yards.
525 gr from a 46# bow ........ 11.4 seems to be the right set up for me.
550 gr from a 50# bow.
