My total arrow weight is 305 grains.
I haven't had a chance to chrono but I should be shooting around 340fps.
I have shot a lot of different bows and hands down I will chose a bowtech for here on out.

Your also shooting an arrow that is way too light for your bow Brandon and sooner or later you are going to detonate your limbs. Not a question of if but a question of when. If you do, Bow Tech will not warranty that bow if they figure out you been darn near dry firing that bow. 5 grains per pound is the rule of thumb that all bow makers recommend for any bow. That translates to a 350 grain arrow you should be shooting at a minimum. Good luck with that.

If your even close on your speed estimate, you are producing 78 ft lbs of kinetic energy at great peril to your bow. 1 pound more than I generate with an arrow nearly 100 grains heavier. You might want to re-think what your doing before its too late.

Parker Raptor, 28" draw and 70lb. Shooting terminator arrows.

Reflex Buckskin with a NAP quick Tune and 3 sight lighted pins with a NAP stabalizer. I shoot it at 75 pounds at 30" with Beaman ICS arrows tipped with NAP Scorpions and a Scott Mongoose release.

Fred bear code

Martin rage II magnum 70 pound draw, Easton arrows,and Muzzy 4 blade broad heads.

I thought I was the only one that shot one, good choice.

Due to a mistake by the guy restringing my bow I will be shooting a bear lights out as of friday. Hope it shoots good.

Wish I had some bow porn to share with you guys, but you'll just have to read the article...no pictures.


I shoot a custom 1971 recurve at 43# with flu flu arrows for birds and rabbits and squirrels.

Bigger critters get the Diamond Black Ice 70# with whatever arrow I happen to pull out.

Not much into fancy gear. My ancestors hunted with sticks with sharpened rocks tied to the end..why the heck do I need all this gear???

I know that one guy can only shoot one bow at a time, but I have an addiction. They say admiting you have a problem is the first step to fixing it. I'm not quite there yet

I'm shooting a take down longbow.

OK, sorry I'm going to pick your brain. Am I looking at that right, that you're shooting a total of 500 grain per arrow? Broadhead and arrow together? And when you mentioned in your next post too a minimum of 350 gr arrow, you're talking just the arrow, not including the broadhead? The hubby's getting into bowhunting so I'm trying to learn what I can to help out, thanks.

Sounds about right. With shooting 76lbs you would most likely need a 400 gr arrow. 300 gr would be pushing it prolly. That does mean that combined weight of arrow and broadhead will be around 500 grs...give or take depending on length of arrow.
