Just wondering if anyone has used the WB with heavy arrows, (900 grains), and if so, how did they perform? Cheers Howie

dont know about weight. i guess it depends more on the width of the arrow. another thing about WBs, is you shouldnt use hellical fletched arrows through them as they tear n wear the fletches. (advise from eagle archery, bris).
Thats a new one to me. Been using my wb with right helical flights for a couple years now and havent noticed any wear. I will have to remember that and keep checking.

I use a WB with 640g arrows and offset blazers no problems at all. Can’t think of any reasons why a heavier arrow will cause any problems unless it was massively under-spined for the job.

like xt ive used a wb with helical Fletches and had no problems, i think if eagle archery is giving you that kind
of advise maybe you should get your advise from somewhere else, coz they've obviously never used one before

I use a total weight 720grain arrow through a WB with 4 x full right helical 2" Blazers with no ill effects at all, except to what ever it hits !

I use CarbonTech Rhinos , I would be happy to belt anything that walks on this great countrys surface with these tough arrows.

Here's a few I prepared Earlier :)
