How many people out there are slinging some serious lumber out of thier average to lower poundage trad bows?! (50 - 55#)  Im talking in the realm of 200gr+ broadheads on 85-90 spined WOOD arrows?!  (carbons with weight tubes and para cord need not apply please haha!)  :saywhat:

Nothing quite that serious, but I do use 55-60 ash with 190 grain ribteks with my self bow.  They run about 725 g.  Self bow is 48 @ 27.  And yes, it's a short range weapon.

Eric,I normally shoot 55-60#, with 11-13 grains per pound with 200-220 grains up front.I got a 300 grain head from big jim and did some testing I was amazed how that head flys.Its some serious hunting medicine.there are so many combinations for any given set-up,thats the fun about this sport of ours.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"
