    What weight arrow do you like to use for deer hunting? Myself I shoot a 60# bow { bowtech justice}
    my arrow weight is 372gr including a 100gr broad head, this would make my arrow a middle weight
    contender,whats yours?

    Last season I shot 70 lbs, w/ 418 gr. arrow. I got great results with it. I am thinking of getting some new arrows that might be just a tic lighter, but I am not sure yet.

    My current arrows are in the 490s for a 70# Hoyt Vectrix....Not sure of exact KE, but it is upper 70s if not breaking the 80 threshold.
