Should I change my arrow weight?

Should I change my arrow weight? I drew a moose tag and feel that I have a good set-up for one. I have a short draw length 27'' I am shooting a 377 grain arrow at 280 fps = 66 foot-pounds of KE. I am using a 100 grain slick trick head (4 blade fixed) I am shooting this current set-up well, with no problems. Most guys that I talk to say not to worry about it, but my hunting parter thinks that I need something a little heaver. What do you think change a good shooting set-up for a 'new' heaver one? They say that 50-60 pounds of KE is enough for any big game in North America. What do you think?

I wouldn't even consider changing. What you have is fine.

If you put the arrow where it needs to go you'll have no problem killing a moose with your set up.

I recommend you grow a couple of inches before your hunt, that way you can get more KE with a longer draw. :what-do-u-think

You already know how I feel, good luck, I hope you have a fun hunt and all turns out well. :arrow

Go forth, and slay the beast.

The beast is dead.

Long live the beast!

Northslope,
If I remember correct you are using Slicks, Well I would tip that arrow with a Big old Snuffer. J/K I had to raz ya a little bit :)

You should be fine with that set-up, just put her in the sweet spot.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I was gonna post another pic of that toad Bull Moose thats on my Trailcam, but I know it will just make you lose more sleep.

Good Luck :thumb

I will keep you posted. Does any know when the peak of the rut is for moose around here? I heard first of Oct. They might give me some choices on times so I want to plant my butt in the rut! :arrow
