Most bowyers I've talked to recommend no less than 8 grains per pound of draw weight (400/50 as Buff says). Some actually prefer over 9, with some favoring 10+. I shoot for right at 10.

Its easy to add weight to an aluminum or carbon arrow. Spray foam, aquarium tubing, and weighted inserts. If your spine is what you want, go with the aquarium tubing. If you're flying a bit stiff, get heavier inserts.

I think Buff's got the coolest avatar!!
