Hi Bow Bow,
Wood is more traditional and looks much better but is harder to work with. I shoot alum arrows for this reason. The rule of thumb for most trad shooters is 10gr of arrow weight per pound of bow weight. My bow is 64# and I have to shoot 140-150 gr heads to keep the FOC right for my arrows and they still come in light at about 8.5 gr per pound. When I shot a compound I was looking for speed. Now I am looking for good penetration. Heavy arrows don’t go fast ( 160-185 fps is about average ) but they hit like a freight train. Think about the .45acp. Slow fat bullet that hits hard. I am no expert. I just enjoy the sport. There are people on here that know much more than I do. When they find this thread, maybe they help you more or correct anything I said that was wrong. Welcome and good luck Allen
