I used to do this but came to the conclusion it was a waste of time.
It takes about 12-15 grains of variation to move your sight tape 1-2 yards at 100 yards. Just building arrows without weighing components, they still generally come in within 2-3 grains of each other (might have had a few go...
15" front and 10" inch back bar is a really stable setup for me, without being too unwieldy. I run 2-3oz on the front and 5-6oz on the bow.
However for hunting I've moved to a quivalizer. Lower profile when packing in, and a full pound lighter than the 15/10 setup plus a full tight spot quiver.
Did you use a calculator to come up with the 250fps reading? If you get actual chrono numbers with one arrow, then tweak the ibo in this calculator to get you the same speed as the chrono, it will be very accurate for checking other arrow weights:

I had a triple stack and went back to the double pin.
With my setup, I have zero need to for 3 pins to cover 40 yards. I set the triple stack at 20/30/40.
But my double pin I can leave at 25/40 and it works just as well. 30 and in I put the top pin on the animal and shoot. Max of 2.5"...
I would reach out and get a quote. I went 2016ish, so I'm sure prices have changed. They have also vastly improved and added accommodations since then.
I went 2 years in a row, when they were first setting it up. The first year there was no option to rent gear, so I brought all my own gear. 2nd year I did the same thing.
If I was going again I would just rent through the lodge. Way less hassle than flying with it, and they'll have exactly what...
I buy all my bows used, and typically spend 50-60% of retail for a 1-2 year old bow, so I'm biased in that direction.
$800 budget for a bare bow is plenty. I've seen dealers on FB selling new old stock for $600-700 lately.
Hard to do though if you don't know what you're looking at, or have...
