Arrow weight VS bow poundage

<< < (2/4) > >>

zeNBowyer:
It  saves  a  lot  of hassle if  you  rig  up  a  test  arrow(s)  with  a threaded tip with  an  assorted  set  of field  points ranging  from 100-250 grs, allowing you  to  experiment to  find that peak  performance  weight  for your  tip:)

mullet:
 Tonkin Boo arrows are heavy and very narrow. I would say the closest comparison to carbon for natural material. They are also naturally tapered which helps penetration tremendously. You can also sand down the nodes till they are so smooth that there is no hump at the nodes.

PeteC:
Tommy,If you want the heavier point  ,go with it.That will be a very good hunting weight arrow for the bow you described,if the arrow spine is sufficient.The 10 grain/# rule is a minimum for me.I commonly hunt with outfits with a 12gr./# arrow.JMO  God Bless

zeNBowyer:
Actually a tapered arrow may fly better but penetrate less efficiently (though neglibly), otherwise needles would have a larger point

NTD:
Zen,  I thought the tapered penetrate better because of FOC weight?  I  get your needle ref though and it makes sense but I thought the heavier FOC mitigated the lack of needle shape penetration wise.
