Just out of boredom today I did a test on arrow flight of 2 completely different arrows from the same bow.
BOW: Bear Magnesium Take Down, B riser 45#, No. 3 limbs (64") = 48#
ARROW SET #1: GT 3555, 100gr tip= 360gr total weight
ARROW SET #2: GT 5575 250gr tip = 560gr total weight
I shot both sets of arrows from 20 yards. Both sets flew very well and were both grouping excellently. Now obviously the lighter arrows shot faster and flatter than the heavier ones. I was quite surprised at the similarities.
Question for you, (I have my own ideas as to what to do) would you rather hunt with a flatter/faster arrow and depend on shot placement or a heavier arrow with greater kinetic energy?
