I asked this question before http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=088347 ,but so many of you are answering, that I would like to make a poll out of this one.

So sorry to bother you again!

The question is: what is the weight you are shooting, expressed in a ratio of arrow-weight(grains) and drawweight (pounds)

The answer comes in gpp.

If you want to give some additional info, feel free to do so!

I answer of 11gpi is based on my recurves hunting arrows.
My target arrows are a lot lighter at just under 6.7 gpi.
My bow is warrantied to 6.5

I put what I'm shooting right now but hope to have my Sky arrows around the near 10+GPP.

Depends on what I am doing with the bow, big game 10-11 gpp, target 8gpp.

I can't vote in this poll. I have three bows and each one is a different poundage which runs from 11.85-14.13 grains per pound depending on which bow I'm shooting. The poll isn't setup for multiple bows with different poundages so I can't choose just one answer.

Ok,

For those who could not vote thus can't see the results:

there are 85 votes by now, 36% is between 10-11 gpp, 28% is between 9-10 gpp and 15% is between 11-12%

I marked 10-11, but actually should be 10-12. 11 + - seems to be the best.

Three Dan Toelke Super D bows and one Whip,51 to 57 lbs., arrow weight 11.3 to 12 grains per pound. I'm also working up arrows on a Jim Rempp Yew Self Bow, they will be around 10 g.p.p.

Looks like I fall into the "heavy arrow" category even though I'm shooting light poundage bows.

FD

Have you broken the data down in 0.5 gpp increments? This information may be more compelling.

Flying Dutchman · « **Reply #16 on:** May 08, 2010, 12:53:00 PM »

Up again.......
