WESTBROOK, could you describe how you are getting 600grains with a 150? Sounds like something that would work great for me...Mike

Shot in the dark, but XX75-2317 sounds about right for aluminum. Would need inserts for carbon. Haven't played with wood in a while to be able to judge, but there used to be these shafts of 'forged wood' available that would probably make the 600+ mark easy enough.

8.2 gpp 430 grains from 52 lbs at 29" 198 fps.

DanDaMan · « **Reply #12 on:** March 05, 2009, 08:00:00 AM »

630gr puts me around 11gpp

Not sure, but I would love to buy a grain scale someday to find out just what my arrows weigh.

wingnut · « **Reply #14 on:** March 05, 2009, 08:05:00 AM »

between 10 and 12 gpp for me.

Guru · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2009, 08:58:00 AM »

anywhere from 9-10gpp

Curveman · « **Reply #16 on:** March 05, 2009, 12:29:00 PM »

9. Thought of adding fishing line or what not to make it 10 or 11 but I just remain unconvinced its being a 9 or 10 gpp will make a difference in a kill/not kill.

TradOnly · « **Reply #17 on:** March 05, 2009, 01:18:00 PM »

Around 10 gpp

Dartwick · « **Reply #18 on:** March 05, 2009, 01:22:00 PM »

I wouldnt worry too much about what weight in its own right beyond getting the bow to shoot quiet.(Although if you shouldnt be going under 9 gpp unless you really understand what your doing in which case you probably wont go that low)

I would be more concerned with
-tuning
-getting arrows that dont break
-getting a high FOC(which ties into tuning)

George, I have to give you one of my Sitka Spruces to check out.

The grain scale is at work correct?
