When making a set of arrows I'm now getting into the habit of weighing them off against each other, getting them within so many grains etc, but a question keeps coming to my mind when I sart out to make a set.
How do you calculate the maximum/minimum/most efficient weight for your arrows. For example if you wanted to make some long distance arrows, you'd want them light enough to travel the distance, but not too light that:
a) It hurts the bow
b) It doesn't travel far enough because it doesn't have enough force.
So how do you know whether an arrow is too light for your bow?
