Accuracy?

I will say,, I have noticed over the years,, the heavier arrows are more forgiving of my release,, or flaw in form,,  and could calm a finicky bow down to a good shooter,, but thought it was just me ,,, and my lack of good form,, 
for example,, I am shooting a shorter 55 inch bow,, with the light arrows,, I get good flight, but if my release is a bit off, ,the shot is quiet a bit off, with  700 grain arrows, I am much more consistent,,
ok I here the comments now that I am giving up trajectory,,, thats true ,, but at close hunting shots I am shooting 15 yards its not an issue,,
for elk I shoot a heaver bow,, and am good to 40 yards,, so not so much of an issue for me with that set up,, point on is 45 yards,,,
    I will say I have shot with guys that were so good,, that the light arrows worked great for them,,,accurate and flat shooting,,,but for me the heavy arrows are a bit more stable,,

Traxx:
I have found the same and with longer arrows as well.

ill third or fourth that heavy arrow bit. i switched to aluminum because carbon just wouldnt cut it. wood is heavier still and i shoot better with them over aluminum. kind of reminds me of big slow caliber rifles. sure its slower but nothing is going to stop it from going where its supposed to be going.  :-M (forgive my sins speaking of aluminum and carbon) haha

bradsmith2010:
I think you covered the 3 deadly sins in one sentence,,rifles carbon and aluminum,, hmmmm (-S
