What weight is considered a heavy arrow

(1/5) > >>

Don W:
And when is it to heavy (keeping hunting big game in mind)

Pat B:
I'd say anything over 10grs per pound of draw weight would be a heavy arrow. Consistency would be a limiting factor in an arrow's physical weight. 1000grs wouldn't be too heavy for some heavy game like water buffalo.

JW_Halverson:
1) What are you hunting?

2) What is the draw weight of the bow?

Don W:
Whitetail and 45, 50 or 55#.

Pat B:
500gr to 600gr would be about average for a hunting arrow for 50# to 60#@28". Anything over that I would consider heavy.
