increasing arrow weight

<< < (2/2)

EdwardS:
If you want some truly heavy shafts, Forrester has leopardwood.  Made some 1200+ grain arrows with them on my 36" draw bows.  Cinder blocks took severe damage when I shot through my target and backstop.  Your mileage may vary, and I can't pull those bows any more.  But yes, increasing weight will get you more penetration and better stopping power.

TimBo:
I like hickory.  It has heavier weight and toughness in a smaller diameter shaft.
