What are the best arrows for traditional hunting?

[yotekiller]

Hey everybody i got another question for ya'll. What would you say is the best type of arrow for hunting big game using traditional archery tackle, wood, aluminium, or carbon?
Also have any of you dealt through 3rivers archery? If so would you recommend purchasing stuff through them?

thanks,

Try aluminum over carbon they carry great momentum ,and pack the punch needed for thick skin

If you need to know anything about traditional anything petew is your man.

Go heavy. Take a look at grizzly stick arrows. There is a fellow named Ed Ashby I believe, and he has done a tremendous amount of research on arrow penetration with traditional equipment. I can't remember his total arrow weight exactly but I think it was around 900 grains with a 300 grain tip for about 25% foc. These are shot out of a moderate weight bows...personally I would run at least 10 grains/lb, probably try get things to around 12 grains/lb.

Keep them at a minimum of 8gr/pound of draw weight, and use cut on contact heads.
Material does not matter, wood, carbon or alloy if they are tuned/matched to the bow and heavy.I like total weights to be around 600 gr.
Most of my arrows are carbon, either Heritage series with 200 to 300 gr heads, or black carbons with 100 gr brass inserts, and heads weighing from 175 to 300 grains.
My woods usualy have heads weighing 125 to 200 grains.

So say i am pulling 50 pounds at a 27 inch draw shooting carbon arrows. What weight of arrow would you recommend? Also i can't find any stores near me that carry broad heads weighing over 125 grains. and i don't really want to have to order them, so that being said, what weight of arrow would i need to get good penetration on deer shooting 125 grain broad heads?
Don't know if any of this makes sense. This is all new to me so i don't really what i am talking about
thanks for any advice you can give me!

Minimum weight to keep the bow alive is recomended at 8gr/#. So a min is 400 grains. I shoot similar weight bows and prefer an arrow weighing around 600+ grains.
talk to Dennis at Git-r-done in calgary. He will set you up with arrows that will be fine.
