ok i know im probable going to get a lot of negitive feed back saying that they are to light of a arrow but here we go.

if a new high contry bow can shoot them why caint the rest of bow makers stand behind this kind of arrow wheight when to me they are way beter bows than high contry?

i'v herd of guys shooting them out of there bowtech & hoyt bowsfor 2 or 3 years with no harm to there bows.

You probably can shoot them out of any bow out there. I've heard of guys shooting below 5 gpp with nothing happening to the bow. However, manufacturers have to protect their own butts and shooting a bow that light can eventually cause a cataclysmic occurrence if something fails on the bow from limb fatigue or string failure. Furthermore, the noise level typically increases. Don't get me wrong. I've thought about trying one of their arrows out with my Ally.

Imagine though whatmay happen to High Country if one of their bows fail when their warranty states you can shoot down to3 gpp?

I have no problem with using light arrows. But the last thing I would want to do is void the warranty on my bow. Besides a 5gpp arrow for me is 250grains, that's what, about the weight of a sharpened pencil?

The Advantages to superlight arrows are basically nil. At bowhunting ranges the difference in speed is No great advantage. I prefer a medium weight arrow. The Bow will be quieter, produce more KE, and IMO be more forgiving.

I guess if you wanna post pics of your speed on the chrono or try to sell a few bows, then light arrows might have a place

Do some research about High Country Bows - more specifically Barnsdale Laminate Limbs - and you'll see why HCA can warranty down to 3 gpp and other manufacturerssimply can't follow suit without hesitancy.

It might change youropinion about the other bows on the market being "way better."

Hey quick. What type of rep did you tell me before you are? The latest HCA looks pretty sweet.

I'm not a rep, but I bought my bow for $530through some staff program they have. But as far as I know, that program is (was)open to anyone.

And yes, the Speed Force and Supreme look really, really nice.

I just noticed, they re-did their website. Amazing! The old one looked like a 3rd grader made it.

If you're serious about their new lineup of bows, get in touch with Richard Batdorf - he's the chief designer of the Iron Mace, and is a really decent guy.

x2, but my elite has them too. I was reading posts by Kevin that designs elite and he said you could use slightly lighter than 5gr per in in the new bows and still be covered by warranty...the difference in elite and hca limbs is that hca has one more layer than elite uses.

I'll definitely give the info to my buddy Josh. I am probably a few years out from an upgrade. I've only had my Ally 1 yr and see no need to replace it soon. Although, if I shot a HCA I could be swayed.
