My current arrows way 561 gr. which puts me at just over 11 gpp.. Does anyone else shoot over 10 gpp.?
-
My current dozen arrows averages approx. 11.8 gpp. Really keeps the bow quiet.
-
I love heavy arrows and four flecthed
-
I'm right around 12%.
-
My 47@27 Toelke Whip is set up with 502gn/11gpp stumping arrows,
designed to be interchangeable as hunting arrows by switching from 125gn judo
to same weighted broadhead, giving 22,6 foc :)
Quiet as a whisper and smooooth!
-
640 grains out of a 59 lbs.bow=11.01gpp
-
My hunting arrows are about 11+gpp shot out of a 55# recurve.
-
I'm right around 11gpi,actually 10.8 too 11.2 depending on broadhead 28% FOC fly like a laser beam
-
Elk set up is 50# bow and 640 gn Doug Fir woodies.
-
760 grs ash tapered out of my 60# at my draw (12.7)
Fly well and the bow is quiet.
I will soon shoot carbons so that will be unknown territory for me

I just got in from shooting my new Big Jim LB. She is shooting sweet with arrows that come in at 11.7. I usually don't shoot that heavy, but I loved how they were flying and smacking my target. I won't take a shot at game over about 20 yards anyway, but really try to keep it 15 or under. Trajectory is not a problem at this distance and any speed loss is not critical to me. Also, as Forester said, it makes for a quiet bow, and it seems to make the bow more stable. 10gpp is just a baseline. Some folks like going heavier, some like the extra speed from going lighter. You'll get great penetration with the heavier arrows. It's subjective, I wouldn't get hung-up on numbers. Experiment to see what feels good to you.

i am like threefeathers.53# longbow 650 grain arrows.they fly like darts.
-
My hunting arrows for everything this season (whitetail, muley, bear, and elk) came in at 720 grains out of a 61# longbow for 11.8. Quiet and the trajectory seems good to me, can't wait to get one soaked with the red sticky.
Good luck to all

mysticguido, I think you meant gpp(grains per pound) instead of gpi(grains per inch). Just letting you know to maybe avoid confusion. :)
-
Arrows are:707,709,715.13-14 GPI,depending on the bow.

I kinda sneak in with 10.3 gpp. Quiet with excellent arrow flight.

630 grain arrow out of my 54# bows.

I have a whole progression of arrows right now (for different weights of bows) and it seems that if you want at least 19 to 20% FOC your going to be shooting at a least 11 gpp and maybe a little more. All of mine are at least 11.5 gpp and some quite a bit more. They buck the wind very well and don't loose a lot of velocity during flight (lighter arrows do). They hit like a hammer. So I guess the answer is yes many times over. I have sets in 400, 340, 300 and 280. All starting at full length and then with some groups cut down, but none shorter than 31. So I can pick up a just about any bow and have an arrow that is really close to tune right away, with a steady progression of spine. Actually I find that they don't have to that close in length, with some of the gaps in sizes at a half an inch, and I can change between 200, 225, 250 and 300 grain points to fine tune things better. I probably have a little too much time on my hands LOL.
I do have a few sets that are really heavy, with really high FOC, but I personally feel that around 22% FOC is a enough. Most of the setups that I use with carbon foam will gap at 60 yards or so, if I keep the weight down to 12 or 13 ggp. and I don't think that I loose any of the benefits of heavier arrows there.

I shoot 12 to 13 gpp arrows, works great for me, I don't shoot over 20 yds at deer so it works great for me.
-
775 gr 55#@28" = 14.09 gpp
-
I'm shooting around 11-12 gpp
