Just wondering what some of you are shooting and how many grains per pound is it for you.I'm shooting 566 and its 11.5 gpp.

WESTBROOK

My hunting arrows are 600g CX150 , 11.3 gpp out of a #53 Shrew. 765g ash, 12.3 gpp out of a #62 Robertson LB.

I usually shoot right around 9 gpp.

Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

53lbs - 425 gr arrow - 8gr/lb

Orion

600 to 700 grains -- 12 to 14 gpp out of low to upper 50s# bows.

WESTBROOK, could you describe how you are getting 600grains with a 150?  Sounds like something that would work great for me...Mike

Shot in the dark, but XX75-2317 sounds about right for aluminum.  Would need inserts for carbon.  Haven't played with wood in a while to be able to judge, but there used to be these shafts of 'forged wood' available that would probably make the 600+ mark easy enough.
Shooting with feeling since 1976 & luvin' every minute of it.

Thanks Dad!

Not sure, but I would love to buy a grain scale someday to find out just what my arrows weigh.

9. Thought of adding fishing line or what not to make it 10 or 11 but I just remain unconvinced its being a 9 or 10 gpp will make a difference in a kill/not kill.

I wouldnt worry too much about what weight in its own right beyond getting the bow to shoot quiet.(Although if you shouldnt be going under 9 gpp unless you really understand what your doing in which case you probably wont go that low)

I would be more concerned with
-tuning
-getting arrows that dont break
-getting a high FOC(which ties into tuning)
Wherever you went - here you are.

George, I have to give you one of my Sitka Spruces to check out.   :saywhat:   The grain scale is at work correct?   :thumbsup:
