Importance of heavy arrows
david w.:
I don't think heavy arrows will catch on in the compound crowd for a while. I think there is a big push to have the first 400 fps bow.

I'm with you David, that is all I hear when I talk to buddies about their compounds. All they talk about is whse bow is faster, and how much faster it is than one of my bows. That's when I tell them that my .300 WM is faster then their bows and shoots farther. >:D

Good answer for those that think speed is the end-all and be-all of archery.

Yo know compounders if your not shooting 3oo grain and 300 fps your not in the click. And most don't care about much else.
SEMO_HUNTER:
Just because you shoot carbons doesn't mean you can't have a beefy arrow either, they don't have to be broom handle woodies, or aluminum bolts to get superior penetration.
I have about 3 full sets of carbons all tuned for different set ups ranging in wt. from 480-495-512 grain weights for different wt. bows. The least I shoot is 9 grains per pound of draw weight and up to 11 gpp for the heavier bows.
My CX Predators have 100 gr. brass inserts with 100gr. Magnus Stinger or Buzzcut up front.
My Gold Tips have a 25gr. 2117 aluminum footing with 125gr. Magnus Snuffer up front.
And lastly the Arrow Dynamics arent' footed yet, but fly awesome with either of the two broadheads mentioned above and all thump with authority.
Momentum Kills, Not Speed!
