Double checking my math

[KodiakMag]

I have switched to hunting with some heavy arrows this year. I am drawing 27" on a 55# @ 28" bow. My arrows are 2117 at 12.0 gpi and they are full length at 31.375. Bare shafted they flew great with a 29 gr insert and a 200 gr field point up front.

so (31.375 X 12 = 376.5), (376.5 + 229= 605.5)

(605.5 / 31.375 = 19.3 gpi total arrow weight)

Does that sound right? Also, for you guys that shoot heavy arrows have you been happy with them? I switched for the main reason of getting a single arrow setup for deer, hog, elk and one day hopefully bear. Is this a viable option?

Math looks right to me.  I got 19.298805 gpi.

11 grains per pound of rated weight (55@28) and assuming you are drawin 52#'s at 27"'s that'd be 11.6 grains per pound at your draw.

Mag, your math is correct and for any of the critters you mentioned it will be fine. Big yes to viability.

And that was the answer I was greatly hoping for.

Your math is right but GPI doesn't mean much.Grains per pound of bow weight is the usual standard-GPP.Your GPP is 11.6 which is an excellent hunting weight.
