does anyone have any advice on a good arrow weight for a 65-70 pound bow, im shooting 340 grain eastons right now, im looking for an arrow that will shoot a little faster that 340's and have no idea what would be a good weight, im shooting 100 grain tips. any help would be greatly appreciated

I shoot 125's for everything, compound, and even traditional right now. Compound is 85 pounds with %50 let off and The Trad is pushing somewhere between 75-80 at 31 inches.

I think that the state minimun 6 grains per pd of pull is good start. Could go a little heavier if you like. Me I am pulling 70lbs with a 420 grain arrow.

hey bone, what compound are you pullin 85 pounds on?

Jake ideally you always want to stay on the stiff side of an arrow. For example if you spec out at the border of a 340 and a 400 go with the 340. I shoot competion archery and i get away with ridiculously low area weights-but there is no broadhead on the end. I would not woory so much about speed. I hear everyone saying they are shooting an arrow at 320. what they dont understand is that is IBO. which is 5 grains per pound. This would be illegal in our fine state. If you can get up to 280-290 and your broadheads are where they need to be run with it. Hope this helps.
