how much arrow weight?

[pcappy08]

Going boar hunting in march and am in the middle of switching from cedar to carbon arrows... was wondering how much weight i should be looking to bump the carbons up to and how you all would recommend getting there....this is my first time shooting carbons with the recurve.

I have gold tip traditionals 55/75's with the 3gr per inch weight tubes. I am shooting them out of a morrison recurve and great northern recurve both around 59lbs arrows are cut at 30" for my 29.5" draw length also am shooting 125gr heads but willing to change that too.

Thanks for any input and direction and as always the knowledge gained and shared here is invaluable...Thank you all

I would shoot those arrows, as long as they fly good from your bow. I don't know exactly what those arrows weigh, but I'm pretty sure they would be over 500gr which is plenty of weight.

The above setup should be good for just about any animal in NA.

I usually add weight with the 75-100 grain steel adaptors and end up with 200-250 grain heads. This will also put you over the 500 gr which should work great.

The arrow's weight is enough around 10 grs/p just choose a very sharp BH take only good angle shoots, stay low

I would take out the weight tubes and add more point weight.
 you don't say what your draw length is ? If its shorter you can cut down the arrows as needed for tunning . I would shoot for at least 300 up front for my personal taste and 400 would be better . Drew

if you want 300 to 400 up front you will need the 7595.  i shoot same weight and draw as you. i used to use the 5575 with brass behind the insert and a 175 tip, they weighed uper 500s, cut as short as posible.  now the 7595 full lenght needs 400 up front to flex out, full weight of 830 but my shrew probably needs a little less spine than your curve.

Leave the weight tubes in add more weight 100gr inserts are very good ,, a cx 250 with 100gr insert and 175 to 250 gr broadhead 30" long is a deadly combo for your draw weight  

[pcappy08]

Yeah Billy im really looking forward to getting back out there it never disapoints

I've been shooting Carbon expresss heretage 350s with 100gr brass inserts, 200gr field points, 5gr weight tubes, for 865gr.  They fly like darts and hit hard out of my 60 lb and 71 lb longbows.

Im a firm believer in the heavier the better

Yoyr arrows are 9.3 gpi.  Most bowyers recommend 9-11 grain per pound of draw weight and you are right in the neighborhood of 9 so if it hits where you look I'd stay with what you've got.

As always thanks for the help and the info all!
