Concern about arrow weight

[~Trigger~]

Hey all,

Im getting back into archery after about an 18 year hiatus, and Im wondering if my arrows are too light.

I currently have a Diamond Black Ice set to 26" Draw@60lbs, I havent shot it yet, but the first arrows I bought were 250 grain Carbon Express.

Are 250 grain arrows too light for this setup?

Orrrrrr....Is this something not even worth worrying about?

It's been a while for me as well. It used to be the AMO specs were 5 grains of arrow weight(including the point) for each pound of peak draw weight for the minimum arrow weight. IBO was 4 gr/lb.

Do these still apply?

5 grains per lb of draw weight, don't confuse arrow spline size to arrow weight.

What is the length of arrow you are shooting?

What is the length of arrow you are shooting?

I had the arrows cut to 27 inches

I weigh all my arrows on a small grain scale. I'm shooting Gold Tip 5575's
at 29.5". They weigh in at 376 gr. with 2" blazers and 100gr broadheads.
At 65lbs of pull.

Yeah, the arrow chart seems to agree with you.
