Arrow weight VS bow poundage
NOMADIC PIRATE:
Get the TBM's from the past 2 years and do some reading on Ashby penetration extensive studys and reserch.
I think your arrow weight is gonna be good, I like to go up 12-14 gr per #
...as for tapered arrows penetrate better,...they do because once the broadhead cut an opening the following shaft being smaller creates less drag.
zeNBowyer:
FOC stabilizes the flight of the arrow, but the larger diameter produces more friction going into the target, whereas a small diameter going in passes through more easily although the diff is prob miniscule if you have a broadhead attached
woodsman1031:
Thanks for all of the input guys. The field points that were on these arrows are 115 grain. The length was already cut on them when I got them. They are just right except for me needing to add the broadheads. Should I try to stay with a 115grain broadhead (if I can find the glue on's), or do yall the think heavier ones will throw off my point of impact? Right now with the 115 grain field points these arrows shoot right where I am looking.

Kegan:
There are alot of good hunting points that weigh 125 gr. You won't notice a 10 gr jump, and you'll have a nice big selection.
Stoker:
I shoot cedars out of 50# longbow and they way out at 535grains 125 zwickey
They work for me I don't like to go under ten grains per pound I feel your asking for trouble
Thanks Leroy
