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.

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.

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
