Preference on gr/in for your arrows.

[Jerry Jeffer]

Ok, it's been talked about plenty on here. Just interested how much weight you like for your arrow. I am also interested in the distribution of weight in your set up i.e. 30" 2020 with a 200gr head.

[SlowBowinMO]

I like 10 to 12 grains per pound myself, depending on the performance of the bow.  I've not had much luck with point loading and usually shoot 125 to 160 grains.

[indianalongbowshooter]

for deer 8-9 gr.# and 175 gr. up front....Aluminums.

[Diamond Paul]

29.25" 2016 with 175grns up front out of 45lb W. Wallace recurve, I draw it 29".  Probably will shoot 160 grain screw in Simmons this year; they fly great.

[Diamond Paul]

P.S.- Not sure what they weigh, but somewhere in the area of 530grns.  I like at least 10gr/lb.

[Jwilliam]

I usually shoot bows right around 50#. And I prefer arrows around 550gr.

I like the 10-12gr/lb. My 55#@28 recurve likes the 160-190gr. heads, 410gr spruce shafts, for a total of 570-600gr total. I am going to try some Easton Legacy's 2117. They are equivalent to 75-80#spine weight. With this recurve being center-cut it will shoot several spine weights well. I shoot some 80-85# and they flew great.  Paul I'm going to give those Simmons a true this year too.

[Pinecone]

10-12 Grains Per Pd...250 grains up front.

[James Wrenn]

Most times I am in the 9 to 11 gn range because I like the bigger broadheads.I don't really give a lot of thought to arrow weight as long as the arrow tunes with the broadheads I like.I just shoot deer and hogs so about anything will work as long as a Simmons is on the front.

[Shawn Leonard]

When I shot wood, I would say 10 gpp. I used to shoot 60-65#s and shot arrows around 600-630 grains. Now I shoot carbons and I like around 9 gpp. My eye likes an arrow going around 190fps. now and I get that with my 52-54# bows with ( grains per pound. My shafts weigh 10 grains per inch, which is your original question but with many ways to change the weight of a shaft is not as important as gpp., as most people are answering in there posts. Shawn

I guess I'm a little different, I like em' a little heavier. I draw 28" with all my bows.
I'm shooting 32" footed carbons with a 100 grain insert and a 125 head for a total of 585 out of all my bows and they're only 45#. Not nearly as flat or fast as some but they do a good job going through with a 2 blade head.

[Wudstix]

I shot 28" tapered Cedar or taped Ash with a 160 grain BH.  That give me wither 610 grains or 700 grains for arrows out of a 63# MOAB.  Fly fine and have no problem sticking in the ground on the other side.

[UK Bowman]

I shoot hexshafts with 125 points/BH whch weigh in at around 650gr. out of a 57# bow.

[Scott Gray]

I am going to use full length Grizzly Stick Alaskans with 190 grain Simmons intercepter up front this year. The total weight is right at 695 grains. This will be shot out of my  60"Black Widow TFV 46@ 28 inches. I draw the bow 29 inches.

[Danny Rowan]

Wood,800+ gr total weight with 160 to 200 gr head.Out of 60# bows.I likes heavy.
Danny

[Forester]

I'm shooting bows at 60# and 65#, arrows at 28.5 to back of point.  They are tapered maple and tapered ash with 160 gr. heads.  Total arrow weight ranges from 715 to 725 grains.  They balance f.o.c 14%.  I guess my shafts work out to approx. 19 gr/in and my arrows to 11.5 gr/pound draw weight.

[pseman]

9-10 gr/lb for me. I shoot CX Heritage 150s 30" with 125gr tips. Fully equipped, arrows are just under 500gr.

[Grendal]

29.5" Carbon Vapor 3000 w/ 3 gr/in. weight tubes from 3 Rivers - 150 2 blade Steel Force Sabertooth's up front.  Gets me about 508 grains out of my 52# Bob Lee Hunter 'curve.

[DesertDude]

I use the 10gr per pound of draw weight as a starting point. Seems to give me the best all around performance.......
