I lean closer to 12. Just seems to be where the woodies of the spine I need most often end up with a moderate weight head.

If you take a poll, I think the "majority" of trad bowhunters will be between 10-12 GPP (grains per pound).

I like 9 but will shoot up to 11 if that is where they end up. Especially if I'm shooting wood.

I am between the 9 to 10, depending of the bow. I prefer 9.

I don't know my exact arrow weight but I'm guessing I'm over 12

around 12 gpp.
On most hunting bows it is the "sweet spot" for dynamic efficiency
