Special Package Delivery - Arrow weight and speed

[Tigger]

Just got mine measured. If you are an archer, what arrow weight and speed are you shooting?

491 and 263 for me.

I shoot a pink bow (long story) diamond edge. Around 70 lbs. I need to weigh my arrows again. It’s been a few years but I think they are just shy of 450. Honestly don’t know my speed but it’s way faster then I used to shoot in the early 90’s

My arrows leave the bow at about 200 mph and weigh just short of one ounce.
Now I have a question. Why is this thread not on the gear/weapons forum?

[Tigger]

Because I didnt put it there?

Here are my thoughts on posting anything and everything on this the elk forum:
It is apparent some of our forums are so close to dead that even moderators won't start a thread on them. Likely very few people will go there to check out their contribution if they do. That is too bad.
The whole WapitiTalk forum is a mess. I am sorry if that offends someone but go look up your state elk regs on our forum. Look for something new in the classified forum or check out the latest on predators. We have other nearly dead forums and some so close I do not know if they can be revived. That is too bad.
We have a great group of loyal hunters that come here because of the information we share and the comradery. Visitors come here to gain insight on hunting or on some hunting related topic. It is too bad they find dead and disorganized forums and forums on life support.
For what it is worth.

IMy current setup has a
100 gn broadhead,
total weight is 418.

Im shooting out of an old Mathews switchback at 70 lb... If I don't start shooting better I may need to go old man and drop my draw weight.
