I share your reservations becuase I have always had them too. Is it better to have a heavier arrow that offers greater wind resistance but has to fly slower and higher. Or a lighter arrow which flies faster and lower but has less resistance to wind?

I have to bow to the majority of more experienced archers than me who say heavier is better.

Earlier tonight I did a very unstructured/unscientific experiment. I could only shoot 30M and was running out of time. I shot 30 arrows with 90gn points into an 80cm target and 30 with 125gn points. The 125gn points dropped 6 inches more than the 90gn, but the grouping was definately tighter. I intend to repeat at 50M later in the week and see what happens then.
