Arrow weight for 56#

What is a good hunting arrow weight for a 56# bow. I am planning on using it for moose and black bear. I figure on limiting my shots to under 20 yards. I am currently shooting a 56# @ 29" Toelke Whip. I have been shooting full length Beman MFX 400's with 3 grain per inch weight tubes, 100 grain brass inserts, 145 grain points. This gives me an arrow that weighs 700 grains. They shoot good so far. Too heavy or too light.

I shoot the same bow weight with a 610 grain CE. If you can get good flight from the 700 then I would say you are in great shape to kill most anything in North America.

Yep, I'm shooting the beman classic 400 shaft, with 75 grain gold tips added to the inserts, 150 razorcap heads, total weight 630 grains, 4-4" fletch and they fly great. You should be good to go..

I would stick with them if they are tuned and you are happy with them.

Marty,
The key to your situation is in the post made by Chris Surtees.
To maximize the effectiveness of the 700 grain arrow, you need to make sure that they are tuned perfectly for your bow.
A perfectly tuned arrow of less weight will penetrate better than the 700 if it's not tuned well.
