My current arrows way 561 gr. which puts me at just over 11 gpp.. Does anyone else shoot over 10 gpp.?

My current dozen arrows averages approx. 11.8 gpp.  Really keeps the bow quiet.

I love heavy arrows and four flecthed

I'm right around 12%.

My 47@27 Toelke Whip is set up with 502gn/11gpp stumping arrows,
designed to be interchangeable as hunting arrows by switching from 125gn judo
to same weighted broadhead, giving 22,6 foc    
Quiet as a whisper and smooooth!

640 grains out of a 59 lbs.bow=11.01gpp

My hunting arrows are about 11+gpp shot out of a 55# recurve.

I'm right around 11gpi,actually 10.8 too 11.2 depending on broadhead 28% FOC fly like a laser beam

Elk set up is 50# bow and 640 gn Doug Fir woodies.

760 grs ash tapered out of my 60# at my draw (12.7)

Fly well and the bow is quiet.
I will soon shoot carbons so that will be unknown territory for me

I just got in from shooting my new Big Jim LB. She is shooting sweet with arrows that come in at 11.7. I usually don't shoot that heavy, but I loved how they were flying and smacking my target. I won't take a shot at game over about 20 yards anyway, but really try to keep it 15 or under. Trajectory is not a problem at this distance and any speed loss is not critical to me. Also, as Forester said, it makes for a quiet bow, and it seems to make the bow more stable. 10gpp is just a baseline. Some folks like going heavier, some like the extra speed from going lighter. You'll get great penetration with the heavier arrows. It's subjective, I wouldn't get hung-up on numbers. Experiment to see what feels good to you.

I,m shooting 650 out of a 52lb. longbow.Silent
and deadly

Shooting a 540gr arrow from a 48# (at my draw) longbow. Figure 11.25 grains per pound of bow weight.

... mike ...

i am like threefeathers.53# longbow 650 grain arrows.they fly like darts.

My hunting arrows for everything this season (whitetail, muley, bear, and elk) came in at 720 grains out of a 61# longbow for 11.8.  Quiet and the trajectory seems good to me, can't wait to get one soaked with the red sticky.

Good luck to all

From a recent pole from over 500 Trad Gangers, there were over 60% that shot over 10 gpp.

Right around 570gr. out of a 43# bow putting me right around13 gpp.

I shoot 11.5 gpp with 48# at my 26.75" draw length. Check my signature below for the details.

50#@28" draw and arrows are 765-795 gpi total weight.
15.3 - 15.9 GPP 30.5" arrow length.
