Im looking at starting a new arrow set up for the season. Would be for everything... turkey, bear, deer and elk. The two shafts that i'm considering are the GT velocity/ ultralight or the GT pierce.
Velocity/ ultralight
.246 ID
8.2GPI in 340 spine
Pierce
.166ID
8.3GPI in 340 spine
Both shafts would wear a 200gr RMS cutthroat with enough added weights to tune and be between 20-25% FOC
Both shafts build an arrow between 550gr and 600gr. coming out of a 55# recurve.
What are your thoughts? I know there is an penetration advantage with the .166 shaft. However, i already have all the inserts and weights and other components for a .246 shaft. Do I go for the standard .246 or do i gain enough to go with the .166? $$ aside..
