Depends on how quiet the bow is.If the bow is quiet enough to hunt with using a lighter weight arrow I see no need for adding more arch to the flight for things like deer.They are easy enough to shoot through with about anything.If the bow is too noisy I will add arrow weight to get it quiet enough or switch to a better bow.I consider 500gns to be a heavy arrow for anything I am likely to ever hunt and doubt if I would ever shoot anything heavier no matter my bow weight.Just don't need it.

Just went and weighed my arrows for the first time in years to see if I was where I thought I was. I shoot tapered cedar with a 14" taper in the rear. I only draw 26 " so over all length is about 27 " Makes for a natural FOC arrtow. IM shooting 46 @26 My arrows average 510Grains with 125 field/braodheads. That is about 11 grains . Makes for a very quiet bow . good penetration and good flight. I have yet to see someone shooting less than 9 grains per, that didn't have some flight problems .
