So what is your finished arrow weight when shooting a bow somewhere between 40-50#

38# to 44#, 650 to 675 grain woodies.

I'm shooting 43-49# recurves. I've hunted with 414 to 550 grains. I'm going to shoot 420 grains (155 grain single bevel) from 44#s this year; turkey, bear, antelope, and whitetail. (27" Easton Injections with 3, 4" feathers)

I shoot a 40# Acadian Woods longbow and a 48# R/D longbow built by KennyM and I shoot 630 gr. Dougles fur out of both of them with great success. FYI I have a 28" draw.

642gr total weight. Going to try to get 750gr combo now that hunting season is over. Shooting golt tip velocity 300s with standard inserts and a 300gr fieldpoints or broadhead. I do shoot a 59# black widow psa so it is pretty centershot.

usually right at or around 490-500 grains is where my arrows end up.

Right now I am shooting a 28.75" .500 gt trad with 220 grains up front out of my thunderstick mag and big jim buffalo. The arrow shoots absolutely perfect from both bows.

Shooting gold tip 7595 that weigh in around 685 grains. Measures out to about 29% foc with 285 grain tips and 100 grain inserts plus maybe another 10 grains for the aluminum footings.
Just a fuzz nock high still (about 1/2" tear when shot thru paper) but spine is dead on.
Love how quiet they make my 55# Grizzly and they hit hard!
