    I prefer an arrow weight of about 420 grains. I shoot a Matthews HTR and a Matthews HTX. My arrows are somewhere in the 244 to 250 fps range. That is perfect for me as I shoot fixed blade broadheads and they tune nicely at those speeds and that weight of an arrow

    Almost scientifically sound. One of the better articles written on the subject.
