Minimun arrow weight for whitetail

(1/2) > >>

Mo_coon-catcher:
What would you all consider a minimum arrow weight for hunting whitetail?
Mostly, would yhese arrows I have be enough mass? 400-450gr, 23/64" mahogany shaft with 160gr two blade and banana cut 3 fletch. They fly great out of the bow I plan to use. The draw weight is about 50# at my 26.5" draw length. Flying clean and hiting squarely, would this be enough arrow weight for out to 20 yards?

Thanks,
Kyle

Pat B:
Those should work fine Mo if you do your part. I prefer 500gr or better but your set up should work well for you.

BowEd:
Good front of center weight on your arrows.That will help.It'll kill a deer if you place it right like all shots taken.Many times the DNR in your state hunting will have a minimum weight to be used also.

bradsmith2010:
that sounds like a good set up,,
good luck to you on your hunting,, (-S

Patches:
No minimum weight for arrow or point in the Wildlife Code for Missouri.  If you can hit exactly in the vitals, then it should work. I would probably stay under 15 yards for a shot, but that is just personal preference.

Good luck hunting and post pictures if you get something! Season is just a month and 2 days away.  :)
