Traditional Hunting Arrow Setup? - 11/08/17 11:18 PM
Hello, I recently purchased some Fleetwood Carbon Arrows, and I'm a little concerned that the total weight of the arrow might be a bit too light for deer. I shoot a PSE Archery Stalker recurve, 45# draw around 28 inches. I'll list the specifications that I intend to use.
Arrow spine: 500
Arrow weight: 201.19 - 6.49 GPI (31 inch arrow, so 201.19 grains)
Broad head: 135 grains - Zwickey Eskilite 2-Blade Screw-In Broadheads
Nock: 15 grains
Insert: 10 ish grains
So in total, this adds up to 361.19 grains (if I did this correctly). Would this be adequate enough?
