bowhunter97 Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 I just got my Hoyt Alphamax 32 in today and it is a 60-70lber. They guy had it torqued all the way down and turns out i can pull it relatively easily. the arrows i got for christmas are 400 spine Easton hexx weighing in at 7.2 GPI. Not my question is with a 100 grain tip, 3 blazer vanes, and the standard nocks and inserts that come with em will my arrow be too light to shoot 70lbs? I have heard of the 5 grains per lb of DW but im not sure about the spine rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted January 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Arrow question. Oh yea my total arrow weight is 325 Edited January 11, 2014 by bowhunter97 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Torqued all the way down you are probably a couple pounds over 70lbs. 325 is too light and may violate your warranty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 your arrows are too light for 70 lbs. what's your draw length? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbHunterNY Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 keep it turned down to 65lbs. use a scale at a shop. they shouldn't charge you for something that quick. then if your draw length is 28.5" or less you're arrows spine is fine.

dbHunterNY Posted January 12, 2014 Report Share Posted January 12, 2014 you should get the most speed out of your setup at 65 lbs (5 grains per lb of draw weight) but keep in mind your bow might be slightly louder at the shot. I think it's all relative, the deer is hearing it regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerClay Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 Dan has it pegged. You are really going to enjoy that bow. I have it's younger cousin the Turbohawk that has the Alphamax limbs. The Alphamax had a lot of satisfied customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
