The arrows that seem to finally tune for me are 10gpp. 500 grain 3355's.

I don't set up my hunting bow with a gpp as a goal. But they always fall between 8 and 9.

I will build whatever weight arrow, that is tuned, yielding the arrow speed I am very comfortable with for each bow, usually between 10 and 12 gpp. Therefore trajectory will be about the same with all my bows.

Generally 10gpp to 11gpp , 575 to 600 grain total for me. Tunes and works the best for me on my set-ups.

I don't normally hunt whitetails anymore; mostly I hunt hogs and the occasional exotic. Because of the built in armor on the hogs I prefer to use a heavier arrow than I would if my usual target were the thin skinned deer. That and the fact that the heavier wooden shafts with a 200 grain BH is much more forgiving in our Texas wind and my occasional bobble at release.  My bows run between 46 and 50 pounds at my draw length and the combination of DW and a arrow in the 600 grain range just seem to work for me.. That would put me in the 12-13 GPP range I reckon..  10 GPP and less just don't seem to perform near as well...

between 9-11gpp ....

Friend,I didn't realize there had been another poll.That's very interesting,Thanks for putting that up.

Bump

I aim for anywhere 9 and 11 GPP and let the tune make the final decision. I think that is a fairly common approach.

Good idea! Though- your data may be skewed based on how you are collecting it.  Where do I vote if I shoot 9 gpp?  or 11 gpp?  I could vote in two different groups, driving your data to be more spread out and less accurate.  I think it would be better if your options didn't overlap (i.e. <9, 9-10.9, 11-12.9, 13+).  

I'm just an unfrozen caveman, so take it for what it's worth...
