Are Heavier arrows more accurate?

Heavy arrows simply absorb more of a bow’s available energy, resulting in fewer vibrations and quieter hunting bows. All factors remaining equal, heavy arrows always are more reliable, more durable, than lighter.

Do longer arrows fly better?

The longer heavier arrow will retain its velocity better than the lighter arrow. The shorter, faster arrow will have more drag therefore reducing penetration. The longer arrow will flex more upon impact, therefore reducing penetration. The shorter arrow will have a slightly higher FOC.

Is a heavier arrow better for hunting?

Heavy arrows penetrate better. The first reason why it’s important to choose the best hunting arrow is because once an arrow leaves the string it ceases to be propelled.

What happens if arrow spine is too stiff?

If the arrow’s spine is too weak or too stiff, the arrow will not correct itself as soon as it should while in flight. If that arrow is weak and continues to flex (has a low spine rating), it’s going to veer off target. Likewise, if the arrow is unforgivingly stiff, it also won’t follow the path the archer intends.

What happens if your arrows are too lightly or heavily spined for your bow?

Every arrow shaft has a degree of stiffness called spine, which is its resistance to bending. If your arrows are too lightly or heavily spined for your bow, the “archer’s paradox” movements will be extreme, resulting in poor arrow flight and loss of accuracy.

What is considered a heavy hunting arrow?
