Obviously, the bow mfg's test their bows with 5 grains per pound of pull in arrow weight which means a 350 grain arrow and 70lbs of pull. I was just wondering what some of you shoot as far as weight of your arrows? Do you go with 5 grains per lb or lighter or heavier? I'm talking about hunting white-tail deer and not target shooting.

Thanks!

5 grains per pound of draw weight is as low as you want to go.
