Arrow weight

Post by Bcwn »

So my arrows are 437 grains. I'm totally new to this, can anyone tell me how this set up should, or will perform.

Easton FMJ 20"
Broad head rage core 100 grain
Matrix mad max 380

Any ideas how fast this set up would be shooting? Isn't the standard for FPS a 400 grain arrow?

Thanks for the input

You should get 346-350 out of that weight arrow pending what all you have on limbs and string for dampeners as these slow bow down a few fps.

Yep, and a whole lot of thump! Keep the weight if the accuracy is what you like, and go hunting! :wink:

X3,,, I get 352 fps with a 440 grain, excellent weight for a 380,, it'll blow through shoulders and thin the herd,,,, I would never shoot lighter but I like accuracy in all conditions, and top performance,,, :wink:
