which arrow would you shoot?

[larry]

45lbs at 27", all set up for hunting. would you shoot a 373 grain arrow at 177fps or a 555 grain arrow at 154fps? trajectory isn't an issue.

Already know which one I'm going to shoot, just curious as to what others would do.

555 for me. quieter is nice.

[larry]

should of metioned I'll be hunting deer, squirrels, rabbits and any coyote that happens to come by

Larry : I always go heavy  

[Maxx Black]

555 for me. and yes silence is better. I also want a bit more weight for the pass through.Maxx

[ChrisM]

450 grains wouldt probably be perfect.

[JohnnyWayne]

Heavier for sure  

[Lamey]

555

[Terry Lightle]

555 Hands down

[Night Wing]

I would get antsy if I shot arrows that were below 9 GPP (grains per pound). I wouldn't want to put any undo stress on my limbs that might damage them. With that said, I'd shoot the 555 grain arrow.

555.....triple nickels, all the way......

[bayoulongbowman]

just make sure ur BH will shave hair...a little heavier...

[Old Chief]

555

I will disagree, my hair covered computer likes and arrow that has a flat trajectory and anything over 8gpp is fine for what you are hunting. I killed quite a few deer and a coyote one year shooting 42#s at 28" draw and the arrow weighed 350 grains. Shot thru the whole length of a big coyote that year.  I am shooting 52#s this year at 28.5"s and shooting 8.6 gpp. I feel confident this set-up will be good deer medicine even big deer. Shawn

I agree with what Rob said. I'd take an arrow that's a little bit slower because it's heavier because it's gonna carry more kinetic energy and with my bows they are more quiet than a lighter arrow.

20 yards and in heavy always for me.

You have stated that trajectory is not an issue.

A ~29% increase in momentum incurred by shooting the 555 gn arrow design could possibly yield substantial dividends under given and very possible circumstances.
