ARROW SELECTION
Arrow selection depends on the peak draw weight, let-
off and draw length settings of your bow. Refer to arrow
manufacturer’s arrow selection tables using this information.
The International Bowhunters Organization (IBO) allows
a minimum of five grains arrow weight per pound of peak
weight. Arrow weight is the total combined weight of your
arrow nock insert, and point or broadhead. To determine the
lightest arrow you can safely shoot, use the following format:
WARNING
Shooting arrows below these minimum weight
requirements will void the warranty. Using arrows below
five grains per pound of peak weight can approach dry-fire
conditions and can severely reduce the life of your bow, and
may cause serious injury. Contact your local Bear Archery
pro shop or arrow manufacturers for arrow selection
recommendations.
The weight of the arrow you select can be determined as
follows:
1. From an arrow chart, find the weight of your arrow
shaft based on the size and length.
2. Add the weight of your broadhead or point.
3. Add 35 grains to cover the nock, insert, and fletching.
For example.
NOTE: It is always best to use a grain scale when available.
