Title: carbon arrows
Post by: dan ferguson on February 21, 2007, 10:45:00 AM
I have always shot wood arrows or alum, just be reading and listening to people, Frankly it sounds to me that carbon arrows are a pain, Is it possible to get a carbon arrow that weighs 10 grains per inch that you can shoot a 125 grn point without adding all that weight up frount, I shoot a 72#@28" longbow with fastflight, My alums and woods are cut to 29 BOP. Maybe someone can answer this, thanks

Yes, you can find carbon arrows, usually in 'Hunter' or 'Camo' styles that weigh as much as 12 gpi.

Yes you can find carbons that heavy.  Grizzlysticks would work great but they are a little pricy.  Carbon Express 350's weigh 12 gpi.  Beman MFX Classics 340 weigh 11.2 gpi.  If you want to bump overall weight you can use weight tubes in Gold Tips or Carbon Express.  Hope this helps.
