11-12 gr. per pound

mec lineman · March 22, 2015, 12:19:00 PM

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.

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.

Wudstix · March 22, 2015, 11:20:00 PM

Personnally with woods 10-11 is good. 63-67# bows.

It's hard to argue with this statement....

I'm shooting Doug Fir at 570+ from 50@26. That's about 11.5 gpp.

KyStickbow · March 23, 2015, 12:10:00 AM

I shoot a little over 11 gpp...works great for me.

LB_hntr · March 23, 2015, 12:45:00 AM

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

myshootinstinks · March 23, 2015, 08:29:00 AM

For hunting I'm using 650gr out of a 51# bow = 12.75.

OregonTom · March 23, 2015, 12:21:00 PM

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
