Total weight of your whitetail arrow?
« on: January 15, 2013, 06:24:00 PM »
Just wondering what the total weight of your whitetail arrow is.
Would also be interested in hearing your effective draw weight and the broadhead you use if you'd like.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Depends on wood shaft type. Lately cedars around 550gr total arrow weight with a 125gr Zwickey or Magnus head.

Ash and lam birch over 700 with the same heads, all out of a 55# recurve.
