Hrm, those are very lightweight arrows. The Gurps standard would come to 700 grains and wooden arrows from my long ago youth were heavier than that.

Maybe this thing doesn't stress arrows the way a real bow does but a rule of thumb for hunting arrows I found a few years ago suggested 10 to 15 grains per lb of pull.
