Very true, particularly with very light weight non-shoot through design bows and
the properly spined light weight arrows to go with them. A heavy point on a
light bow doesn't make sense logically anyway and can drastically affect the
flex (and thus the stability in flight and repeatability) of a light spined
arrow, especially since a light arrow is already bending like a noodle around
the grip of the bow! On the other hand, with a shoot-through design, the bow
that pushes the arrow down a much straighter path. A light arrow with a heavy
point can be less affected by wind and will probably penetrate better and suffer
fewer fall-outs.

This is why it is typically money well spent to get a set of arrows of matched
weight and spine, matched to the weight of the bow. Yes, carefully selected
straight $0.89 arrows at Academy Sports will shoot fine from many bows and you
can buy 4 times as many of them for the same money, but some bows sling them
wildly around, especially as pull weights go up....
