Arrow weight

Post by Ankh »

Facebook page has made me paranoid about my arrow weight. Gen 1 micro 16.5 luminated quills with 150 grain head. Am I good or do I need heavier arrows. Bonus question, does anyone know where to find the weight of my current setup? Finally, thanks in advance for any expertise/advice.

P.S. Facebook is also making me paranoid about buying a jeep gladiator, but then tacoma forum same, then ford/checy/ram forums the same. Beginning to wonder if Facebook/forums is my problem (with the exception of this 1 of course). And I do mean that about this forum as I see fewer complaints and more solutions.

Don't listen to Karen from Facebook. There's a reason why they are on Facebook. They also had fish tacos for lunch, and are currently out for a jog.

Your arrow setup is perfect. With a Luminock your be sitting at 420Grn. Give or take a grain. It'll hit like a ton of bricks.
The Gen 1s are sweet, in fact I'm shooting my gen1 riser'd custom micro right now. Just keep your brace height up around 1/4 to 3/16" off the bumpers and you'll be fine.
