Heavier than normal

So today I went to my buddy/neighbor/co-workers house for some shooting around. He says if I'll come by more often he'll put down the training wheels some, or even mostly, this year. Yay!

But back on topic, he gave me a 300gr FP to try. My Grizzly Sticks already weigh 646gr with a Nockturnal. These put it around 826! But to be honest, there wasn't much flight difference, but it did help the sound of the arrow in flight. The sound of the feathers was hushed a lil bit, as was the sound of it being loosed.

Obviously I did lose some speed & elevation from my already slow bow, but man did it feel good. And by good I mean, quieter than the brand new NoCam he was shooting beside me (with ABHS Momentums!). Even a bit quieter than his custom Flanagin recurve!

I like heavy arrows and if I could move up in arrow weight and have no difference in arrow flight ide do it in a heart beat but I've tried so I stay around 650. What weight bow are you shooting with that 800 gr arrow??

[Soonerlongbow]

A cheap PSE Legacy, 55 @ 28. To be honest it is about 3" low @ 20 but the way I shoot (poorly) its not that bad and easily compensated for with practice. By the end of the session I could put that arrow mostly where I wanted it.

I was fooling around with a couple of my 3555s and got them cut back a hair too short. I added 50 gr weight on the back of the insert and kept the 175gr field point, so I'm up to around 235 and see no difference out to 20 yds, wich is my max distance available at the moment.

I realize this is not the 300 you are talking about, but I'll bet I could cut another 1/4" or so (they are down to 29" now) and move up to 300 gr total without seeing much difference at 20 yds. They do in fact hit like a ton of bricks and that's out of a 42# bow.

I shoot 570 g. carbons out of my 44lb. Howard Hill Half Breed. Not the fastest but, really hits hard. I'll take a heavy arrow any day.

I'm shoot AD hammerheads that weigh in around 740 grains and fmj's that weigh about 650.  Wouldn't have it any other way.  I notice no loss in trajectory 20 yards and in.
