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:
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.
