Yes, I think some folks inadvertently say GPI when GPP is what they mean.

If your bow stays at full draw when you release the string................the arrow is too heavy!

I am shooting 900 grain arrows with a 60 pound bow at 155 fps...while those arrows do not give flat trajectory I would take the right shot to 30 yards with them on an elk or moose

I set out a while ago to reduce my herd of 40 bows...And I am finally down to 42

This is also my desired hunting weight. I like to keep my trajectory as flat as possible. Actually i prefer 10-11 gpp.

Is there a point on either the heavy end or the light end of arrow weight where changes in draw length or release can effect the cast more?
