I asked this question before    http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=088347    ,but so many of you are answering, that I would like to make a poll out of this one.

So sorry to bother you again!

The question is: what is the weight you are shooting, expressed in a ratio of arrow-weight(grains) and drawweight (pounds)

The answer comes in gpp.

I answer of 11gpi is based on my recurves hunting arrows.
My target arrows are a lot lighter at just under 6.7 gpi.
My bow is warrantied to 6.5
Winning or losing is not the important thing,,the important thing is how well you played the game.

Eugene Slagle

I put what I'm shooting right now but hope to have my Sky arrows around the near 10+GPP.
Zona Custom Recurve: 60" 49# @ 27.5".
Sky Sky Hawk Recurve: 60" 47# @ 27.5".
Genesis 27:3 Now therefore, please take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and hunt game for me.

Depends on what I am doing with the bow, big game 10-11 gpp, target 8gpp.
shoot straight shoot often

Night Wing

I can't vote in this poll. I have three bows and each one is a different poundage which runs from 11.85-14.13 grains per pound depending on which bow I'm shooting. The poll isn't setup for multiple bows with different poundages so I can't choose just one answer.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

Flying Dutchman

Ok,

For those who could not vote thus can't see the results:

there are 85 votes by now, 36% is between 10-11 gpp, 28% is between 9-10 gpp and 15% is between 11-12%

I marked 10-11, but actually should be 10-12. 11 + - seems to be the best.

Looks like I fall into the "heavy arrow" category even though I'm shooting light poundage bows.

Have you broken the data down in 0.5 gpp increments? This information may be more compelling.
