Arrow combination-elk

After looking at all the arrow and head options out there, I was thinking this might be a good combination. I will be hunting elk an bear every year with my bow, and I know Ashbe says 650gr and over for big game. Grizzly stick safari 575gr-Eclips single bevel tanto tip 145gr =720gr arrow. The bow will be a 60 pound recurve. Is this to much weight for 60#?

As long as you are getting good arrow flight with razor sharp broadheads,and stay within your own accuracy limits, it will be a fine combo.

Look in the search for bare shaft tuning.

Not too much weight at all. You can tune to accurately shoot most any weight and have to determine for yourself when the arc of trajectory becomes too high for consistent accuracy at your max personal range. I would personally start with a lighter shaft and add more weight to the front. So long as you’re over 650, increasing FoC gains more penetration and has less affect on arrow flight than increasing overall weight. The Eclipse is a good head. I would go with single-bevel. In any event you’re in good shape where you are now. The real trick is finding a willing elk to stand broadside at under 20 yards! Good luck, dp

I shot that same combo for years. Except for the broadhead. I was using zwickey two blades and magnus 1s. I got great penetration. The only thing different now is the tip. Gary
