Hi all, I am shooting a 55#@29" recurve.  With a 30" arrow I have been shooting around 650 gr.  I like heavy arrows and am thinking of going heavier than 650 gr.  What are you all shooting?  How heavy is too heavy?  Jonathan

I shoot mid-upper 50's with arrows right around 500 grains. Although, the arrows I just made up are 470.

I shoot the lower 50's and i try to stay around 10 gpi. I just made up some for my ACS/CX at 52# and hit it right on the nose 520 grains

650 grn total

i would say that if arrow weight affects your form than it is too heavy.  i used to shoot over 700 grains with a 60# bamboo viper, but i found that to compensate for arrow drop - loss of trajectory - at 20 yards or more i had to raise my bow arm too much which threw my alignment off.  i now shoot around 620 grains and my arrows have a much flatter trajectory, which feels right to me.  the obvious question is, do you have a reason for increasing arrow weight - improved bow performance, better penetration, etc. - or do you just want heavier arrows?

I shoot a 49# ACS with 625-650 grain arrows depending on tip weight. Frankly trajectory never enters the picture for me; but I don't shoot over 25 yards, except for fun.
So if you wanted to go heavier it should not present a problem for you with a heavier bow. It is really a matter of what feels right for you, in my opinion.

I shoot 54# with 625 grain arrows

You are already shooting what would be considered heavy (greater than 10 grains per pound). G. Fred has a great article in the latest Trd Bwhntr on just this.  I don't think you gain by going much heavier.

At 55# I shoot 650gr,no reason for more.

I shoot two longbows, one is 55 the other is 60 and shoot the same arrows out of each and arrows ballpark 550. dino

my 3 bows @50# shoot axis shafts at 525grs,my patriot missles weigh in at 600grs.

Shootin' 54-56 lbs. @ 28":
550 grains. Nothing but nock!!

53lb longbow and I shoot arrows that are 427gr.

On my low 50's set ups, I shoot a Carbon Express 250 with some extra weight up front and end up with about 575 grains.  They fly really and hit hard.

The longbow Im finishing up right now (53@29) will be shooting 680 Grains...

55#@28" Blacktail Elite VL recurve shooting 610gr. CE with 225g upfront. Great combo.

#55 and shooting 650 gr

My bow is #54 at my draw. If I'm shooting ash, they come in around 700-720. Yup they might drop a little faster but I've learned to shoot that way. If I shoot POC then those I try to keep around 520 - 550 for target. I little flatter shooting for those "unknown" longer shoots in the courses.

I personally like the heavier arrows as they will reduce noise and hand shock if it's an issue with your bow.

57lb 644 grain arrow 350 tip weight.

I'm a touch over 600g with pulling 56#@32"
