MY bear charge and arrows

i have a bear charge, DW at 60 lb DL at 29 in, my arrows are bemen dear hunters that are 340 grain, i normaly shoot muzzy 100 grain, my question is my arrows and broad heads going to do damage to my bow being so light,

 

no one has any ideas that seams weird

 

I'm betting your arrows aren't 340gr. Your probably misreading the spine label on the arrow. My guess is that your probably in the 410gr. range which is just fine for your bow.

Now it doesn't SEEM weird that nobody had a suggestion for your BEMAN DEER hunter arrows.:D

 

what does that mean lol i like my beman ICS bow hunters. they say 340 then 9.3gpi

 

340 identifies the spine of the arrow.

How long are your arrows? Let's say they are 30". Take 9.3 x 30" will get your basic arrow weight. Then add weight for flectchings, tip weights, nock weight, wraps, etc. That is how you get your total arrow weight.

 

so the arrow is 29.25 in so its around 272 grains, i have 100 grain tips, and i dont know what the others weigh, and my bow pull right now 58 pounds

 

yeah mine are 400 with 100 grain bloorunner 2 blade heads and i have the charge at 60 with a 28 in draw you should be fine

 

Measure your arrow. multiply it by 9.3. add 100 grains for your tip and roughly 50 to 55 for vanes, insert, etc. That's roughly what your arrow weighs.

340 IS the spine.

 

I think he was referring to your spelling of the word "deer."

We're pretty picky about spelling errors 'round here.

 

so the total weight of my arrow is around 422 grains, so that means im shooting about 7 or 8 grains per pound, that sounds like good "DEER" lol killing weight, and no damage to my bow. thank you guys so much

 

Ben, IMO, that is a great DEER killing weight. When I build my arrows, I usually aim for 430. Good luck this year.

 

very good deer arrow weight. just practice enough and practice doesn't make perfect PERFECT practice makes perfect. like you stance, form, etc. if you start to get tired or lose concentration. that would be a good time to stop for a awhile.

And Good Luck i

 

thank you guys so much, yep i am done for a day or two, my arm is dead

 

You see that's not PERFECT PRACTICE, if you feel yourself getting tired then stop and pick up another day. When tired you slip into bad habits which reinforces bad form. It's better to shoot 10 perfect shots 3 days a week then to shoot 30 imperfect shots once a week.

 

i know it was from the day i got my bow i shoot about 60 times to get it sighted in, now i shoot about 12 or 18 shoots 3 times a week and diff angles, and distances, with about a 2 in spread every time some times closer
