I want to say I got a little over 200 with a 60lb damon howatt mamba made in the 1960s with the lightest arrows I could shoot from it.
That light arrows for speed experiment didn't last long. I went back to a heavier arrow/broadhead setup and was shooting in the high 170s. My draw length is 28".
I feel like the light arrows were at least a part of why the limb tip delaminated on it a couple of years ago. Going to light will damage limbs so that is probably what happened. I know plenty of guys could be getting 200+ with a recurve, its just not advisable due to the set up you would have to get the 200+. High end ILF limbs,and not all of those, are the only limbs I know of designed to shoot 4-5 gpp. Even so 9gpp and up is always easier on a bow. That is correct. I've never owned an ILF, but I am sure it would still be better with a heavier arrow. Depends on how you define better. Mine shoots quietly and without any shock at 5gpp. You would get a bit better penetration for hunting with heavier arrows but even at 5gpp it would blow right through ribs.
