thanks guys!
well, I get great flight from 2 arrows with 100g differences, can't complain one bit, I guess it would really depend on the game I would hunt, like for small game, the 500g is perfect, it already proved itself on thursday,wish I could try it on deer.... the 600g, I'm just gonna have to wait and see

I can agree with that.

Christian....You'll find either arrow weight will be more than enough for deer.  Try shooting with broadheads.  Then pick the one that flies the best, hits where you want it too and is quiet enough for your liking.  Good luck

christian,as chris and other's advocated,either arrow weight will work very well for hunting purpose's.or target,ect.a well placed shot,and a sharp broadhead are the main ingredient's for taking game.at 20 yards,a deer will never distinguish between a 500 grain or a 600 grain arrow,imho.regards,robert  :campfire:    :archer:    :coffee:

'TGMM FAMILY of THE BOW"at 211 degrees water is hot.at 212 it boils and cause's steam,which can run a locomotive.is it worth that one extra ounce of effort to finish first,the difference between good and great?

go in heavy,more kinetic energy only does good things when you hit a bone.then its up to your broadhead to do the rest

ok I was wondering guys
If I decide to shoot a multi blade broadhead like lets say a muzzy 145g 3-blad, which would bring my arrow up to 520g, and decide to used it on deer, would that be pushing it to far?
I mean I know the heavier arrow is the way to go but those broadheads fly better than my zwickeys
