Arrow weight for hunting 45lb recurve? - TexasBowhunter.com Community Discussion Forums

I ordered some arrows for my new bow and now I’m thinking I messed up! The bow is a Ben Pearson 7058 45#@28” my compound DL was 28.5 or 29 I can’t remember exactly.

The arrows I ordered mainly just for practice for now are traditional only carbon 9.1gpi I think they will be around 30” finished I plan using 50gr inserts and 125gr heads just because I have some already. That will put me at 460.73gr total. According to 3 rivers I should be able to shoot 200gr up front at that arrow length and draw weight and still be spined correctly.

Does this set up sound good enough to get deep penetration on hogs?
