RE: Arrow Grains?
ORIGINAL: luke/r
I have been reading alot of posts about people saying they like to shoot arrows at 400grs and up. I have a 60lb Guardian at 28in and my arrows are currently 334grs. They are GT XT Hunters,26.5in long,75gr heads,3 blazers and 4in wraps. Was wondering if you guys think this setup is ok or if I should look into a heavier arrow? My arrows fly great now and i'm shooting about 270fps. I am not concered about speed though just want some good wallop. Thank You.

RE: Arrow Grains?
Thanks Bigcountry I am going to keep an eye onmyarrows next time I shoot and make adjustments if needed. I think the wraps weigh 4 or 5gr. Do you think I should get a few more arrows and have them cut an inch or so longer and put 100gr heads on them? I was also looking at switching arrows to Carbon Express Maxima Hunters, Beamans, or maybe Easton Axis.

RE: Arrow Grains?
From an ontargetII calculation with the numbers you gave me, you would need to cut 5575s 29" to accomidate a 100gr head and be the right spined. But the arrow will wiegh almost 400gr.
if you want to stay with the light arrow, you can with 3555s and 75gr point and 26" arrow. Tad on weak side however.

RE: Arrow Grains?
I really don't need to stay with a light arrow. I just want my arrows to be spined right so I can get optimum flight and performance. If I lose somefps it won't bother me. I would like to shoot 100gr heads. I am also not going with the wraps anymore juet 3 blazers.
