I am new to bowhunting and hoping to try my hand at a turkey in a few weeks here. I'm shooting goldtip 35-55 arrows right now out of a selfbow but I bought a shakespeare 50 pound recurve that should be here any time, so that's what I'll be shooting mostly. I have 125 grain field points and some 125 grain magnus 2 blade broadheads that hopefully will work well and I can use for turkey, but my whole arrow weighs only around 375 grains, had to weigh it on a kitchen scale so it could be a little off, but that seems light.
So do you think that is too light? I see a lot of people talking about 500-600 grain total weight, so if it is too light what is a good way to add a little weight? I've heard parachute chord, do you just put it inside the arrow?
Any help is apreciated, THANKS
