i just finished tuning a new arrow out of my bob lee recurve, 54#@28". the two arrows that i have flying great out of it are,( both with 240gr b/head) 1- g/tip 35/55, std insert 3gr/"wt tube, 590gr total, 21% FOC. 2- g/tip 55/75, 100gr brass insert, 620gr total, 26% FOC. both fly as well as each other. i hunt mainly pigs, deer, goats, scrub bulls, anything really. this bow will also be coming to canada with me on my working/hunting holiday. so, choose your weapon.

both seem great, but if they are both good fliers and you are hunting, not 3-D shooting, I would lean to the heavier of the two.heavy arrow with your plenty of FOC would likely puch through just about anything I would guess.  Likely is a bit quieter too.

I would definitley go with the heavier arrow.
Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

Yeah, mate, the latter. After seeing my mate struggle at times (in other words, darn-near get killed by a massive boar) with his recurve and light arrows on pigs (he has rectified the situation), I'd definitely go with that heavier one.
