Total weight of your whitetail arrow?

[smoke1953]

Nothing wrong with heavy.

[BuckeyeGuy]

Out of my 58# Centaur, I'm shooting 2216's tipped with 160 grain snuffers with 100 grain steel inserts.  Somewhere around 650 grains with all the bells and whistles.  Prior to the snuffers it was 4 blades eskimos with 125 gr steel insert.

I shoot the same set-up out of my 56# Assenheimer.

[jcprintz]

50# at 27"= CE 150 580-600 grains with 250 grains up front using Magnus 1 or 1 1/4" VPA.

[Randy Koleno]

My hunting bows are 48-51lbs and my arrows are 450-500gr., depending on which I'm using. I am using a 175gr. Woodsman Elite on all at the moment.

[Kris]

575 gr. - 675 gr. Beman MFX. 51#@28 ACS 3 piece longbow.  Broadheads; 250 gr. 3 blade VPA's, 175 gr. Abowyer Wapiti, 135 gr. 2 blade Magnus I and 135 gr. 2 blade Zwickey Delta's.  I occasionally use 200 gr. LW Grizzly's as well.

Any good, solid, COC BH of 2, 3 & 4 blades for deer will be lethal...so redundant.

[Mint]

550 to 580gr Gold Tip 55/75 cut to 28", 50gr brass insert with the muzzy phantom 200gr two blade or 220gr 4 blade broadhead.

[BWD]

About 485-535gr. depending on which bow I am hunting with.

[Butchie]

31.5" Trad Only 400
75 gr brass adapter
160 gr broadhead

47# @ 30" longbow (12.1 gpi)

[LimBender]

595 (Trad Only 400s with 50 grain insert and 250 VPA terminator) pulling about 52#, thinking of dropping down about 50 grains next year.

[Friend]

The spectrum of confidence is quite vast.

[bornagainbowhunter]

Just weighted some of mine about 3 weeks ago.  My recurve is 64# and the arrow weighed 628, my longbows are 67# & 70# the arrows weigh in the 650-660 range.

[bornagainbowhunter]

[]I just build an arrow that shoots well and has some good weight.  I don't really have a GPP that I shoot for, I just use what works.

[Stryder]

660 grn Surewood Doug Fir (by Snag) w/ 175 grn Abowyer heads

[eddings220]

Around 540gr.
Trad Only shafts with 200gr woodsman elite
3 x 5" shield cut feathers

[Forrest Halley]

870gr total weight Grizzlystik Safari 29" BOP, 250 gr Woodsman Elite or 215 Widowmaker.

[1screagle]

565gr. for 5 bows running 55#, 56# and 61#. I have Carbon Express Heritage 250's I use for practice and 3-d, I use beautiful woody's for my hunting. They weigh the same and fly well from each bow. They run between a little less than 9gpp to to just over 10gpp depending on the bow. I have some Heritage 350's running about 730gr. for heavier work that are awesome. No woodies in that weight yet, working on it soon though.

[30coupe]

475 grains total from either my Kanati or my RER XR. That's just over 10 grains per pound of draw at my 28" draw. My usual broadhead is a Zwickey Delta, but I've got some Simmons Tigersharks of the same weight that I'm going to give a go. These arrows travel at 175 to 185 fps from those bows respectively.

They make whitetails dead, which is really all I ask of them, LOL! Oh, and it doesn't take them long to get that way either.

I've tried heavier than 10 gpp, but really can't say that it made a difference. I have no desire to go lighter. My setup tunes to perfection, which is what I'm after.

[Danny Rowan]

About 800 gr out of my 55-60# bows. 300 gr Big Jim or 300gr Extreme.

[wojo124]

About 570 finished weight.....cedar arrow tipped w/160 Ace standard with my holenbeck longbow. I use this setup for deer,black bear,and turkey.works great
