Im shooting close to that grain with a 48lb bow and am very happy with arrow flight and penetration.

You're shooting an 11.30 GPP (grains per pound) arrow. Many people shoot 10-12 GPP arrows so if you like how the arrows fly, how they penetrate and hit where you look, you're good to go.

All day long if they shoot straight in your bow.

good stuff here, thanks sounds like quite a few people shoot over 500grs in the 45 to 49lb range.

I'm shooting that weight outta my 46# Wapiti and get excellent flight. Assuming, of course, that you have the spine dialed in, you should have a great set-up.
Shoot straight, and often!

I'm at 555 gr. at 48#@26.75" draw weight. Works very well for me for hunting and 3D as well.

Rob DiStefano · March 24, 2011, 07:04:00 AM

heck yeah, just fine at typical trad hunting distances.
