Is 13 gr. per / LBS. to much???

[PastorSteveHill]

I pull 50 lbs. and shooting a 650 gr. arrow. They fly real good/ is this to heavy for my bow weight?

If they fly great, then you already have your answer.

[sgrogg]

There is a point of diminishing returns (so I've heard).  It's 12 or 13 gr/lb.

I heard "Rule of Thumb" was 10gr. per lb. Its varying "Shades of Gray"

Dr. Ed Ashby actually recomended that exact arrow weight,,,I asked him for a bit of advice,,,gave him my specs (50# Quest, 52# S.Shrew coming) and that's the weight he recomended. Sweet.

The only downside I could see with that setup may be the trajectory. They should be fine under 20 yards though. I had some made up about that weight and they were fine at 15, but dropped pretty fast at 20. They were rainbows at 25. Should penetrate like crazy though!

To some degree, it depends on what critters you are shooting.  For deer, it is more weight than necessary, but as long as you can deal with the arc and hit within your range, is sure isn't gonna hurt anything, either.  It will go a long way towards quieting the shot, and that is worth a lot, too.

Sounds perfect; my set up too.

[Rob DiStefano]

The only issue with a well flying very heavy arrow is the much higher trajectory, so no long shots (whatever "long" means to you).

If it shoots good and you hit where you're looking, stick with it. A buddy of mine (rifle hunter) says his favorite elk load is a camp stove @ 2500fps. It ain't catch and release, if ya catch my drift.

Many thanks boys.

I just polled all the deer in my area and they unanimously agreed that it is too much and that you should drop down to 1 gpp and use those foam reenactment arrows.  

[robslifts]

sounds like a good setup to me as long as you are getting good arrow flight!   :D

[jeff / sc]

Pretty much right on with my setup...good arrow flight and quiet bow.
