490gr at 16% foc. Up from 400gr last year and liking the added weight up front. Great arrow flight and good speed with added bonus that it should help penetration.

Ok boys got my arrows squared away. Gonna FD a 50 grain weight to the back of my insert which will bump my tots weight up to 470 grain. I underestimated the weight of my arrows before. Appreciate the input.

I like to hit a speed. 265-285 tunes well and for me personally gives me a quiet bow. It just so happens to be at 560g @268-270fps. I want the same setup for all animals. Accurate and quiet.
I’m shooting about 285 on the speed. Pretty decent kinetic energy with my setup.

I’m either gonna shoot a 406 grain or a 438 grain arrow. Both shoot great, but haven’t decided on one yet.

I don’t foresee any problems with either, since I was having no issues with a 367 grain arrow.

What total grain weight arrow Is everyone shooting? I’m close to 400 and not sure if I should increase that.
what are you hunting and what head are you using? draw length and weight? more details will help give you advice or suggestions

My arrows come in right at 530 grains they're black eagle renegades 250 spine 28.25 carbon to carbon with there outsert I think 56 grains or 58 and a 125 grain ATAC fixed head. Bows rx3 73 lbs 30 inch draw chrono said 277 fps average don't know how accurate it was. I was able to tune them super easy. Don't know if heavy arrows are better but I do know the spike elk I shot to far forward this year and center punched the shoulder got knocked over sideways and the arrow penetration was 14 inches give or take and I could hear it pop through. I was able to get quick follow-up shots. ( I shoot animals until they stop moving )

I’m shooting the GT 340 spine. 100grain spitfire. I’m mainly using these arrows for whitetail but would like to use them for elk next year also.

I’m gonna drop in 50grain weights behind the insert. It’ll get me at about 480 grain total weight
