Last year I shot a 32", 602 grain 2117 aluminum arrow out of my 66", 42# @ 30" recurve. It really packed a wallop from 20 yards and under.

But, this year I'm switching gears and going with a much lighter arrow out of both of my recurves. It's for experimentation purposes.
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 37# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 11.37

I shoot a 650 grain high FOC arrow out of my 48-55lbs bows at a 32 inch draw link, has always worked well but I don't shoot over 20 yards at deer.

Close enough I suppose.

51 @ 28

Victory HV 350… 6.7 gpi…29.5” arrow…400 up front … 615 gn-total… ~32.0% FOC

This set-up disintergrated an 18 in 1 Rhinerhart target in less than a month. These targets are guarenteed for a full year.

my arrows are almost 600gr and the bow i shoot them from is about 43# at my dl.  the bow throws then great and they hit the target with some force.  i wont take a shot farther then 20 yds a deer and at 20 yards i dont really have to do any hold over with this set up
