64" 62#@29" 680 grain arrow tipped with RFA Pheonix 3 blade. Complete pass through at 30 yards. The hawks love heavy arrows and throw them with authority. Very smooth as well. Won't be selling mine  :)

Good insight Guys.  There seems to be an agreement that Mohawks like heavy arrows.  How heavy would everyone recommend?  Or, how heavy is heavy.  Rob, what arrows did you shoot out of your 43# Classic that I bought from Terry, if you don't mind me asking?  Thanks - Ron

whatever works best for you.

Or, how heavy is heavy.  

again, whatever works best for you.  you always need to try out different arrow weights and types.  it also depends on what the bow will be used for, what kinda game, what kinda typical hunt distances, etc.  if you want the best the bow can offer you, you really need to do the arrow testing.  this is where arrows with screw-in points/adapters come in mighty handy.

Rob, what arrows did you shoot out of your 43# Classic that I bought from Terry, if you don't mind me asking?  

at my 29" draw length the bow was over 46# and i used 535gr 29.5" beman 500 carbons.

Mine love the heavy arrows.  Really like seeing my target rock back and forth after that nice "thump"!  Not to mention the SMOOOOOOTH draw.

I have been reading about how Rob and others brag on their Mohakw bows for the last year or two and it made me curious. I saw one come up for sale last fall and I jumped on it. Well my impression of it is that now I have to sell a couple bows so I can order another Mohawk.
The grip fits me perfect, the bow is a great shooter, smooth and quiet and it has now become my favorite and I have 15 other custom longbows on my bow rack!  Nuff said !
