Lets see what you all are shooting thru your rigs....
I have 2 sets made up....5575 XTs running around 360 grains with 85 grain expandables and 7595s wieghing in at 427 grains with 100 grain slick tricks.

 

[Doublelung]

I have some "hot rod" Maxima 250s, 27" long, Blazers with 100 gr tips. They weigh 340 gr
I hunt with Maxima Hunter 350s, 28" long, flame wraps, hard helical 4" feathers and 100 gr heads. They weigh right at 400 gr

 

[rutnstrut74]

I have 5575XT with 100gr Grim Reapers 380gr TW and CF Pro 300's with 100gr Sonics 375gr TW. :sad:

I weigh in at 366gr but that is on a 60lb bow.

 

[semobow]

My blackhawks weigh in at 397 grains.

Come on gents....post up yours.

 

[Haggy50]

Mine are going to be Maxima 350's with either or both Strikers and Slick Tricks, going to experiment and see which flys better. I am also going to be trying some FMJ's once Dave gets them..... Really want to see what the big deal is with the ST's, they look mean as he-- and are very sharp.

I know I might catch some slack, but for Whitetails here in VA, I use a 337gr C/E Maxima shooting at 67#'s.

 

[weave]

Nah, no one will give you a hard time. I myself usually cut right to the 5gr per lb

I build arrows based upon the FOC I want and if than means I come in "light", so long as I stay at or above 5gr per lb, I am happy.

I made up the hot rod 250's just to mess with the Bowtech guys that shoot at my shop/range. They all seem to think they are shooting over 300? Most are about 280-290 or less.
26 1/2" DL, 68 lbs, 288 FPS
add in the 35 FPS I lose for having a short DL(10 FPS per inch) and 2 more lbs DW and your pretty close to the 320 IBO speed.
I'm not done tweaking it either! It does make the bow louder though. Still not bad.
I like getting the chrono out when they are all there.
Of course it's all in fun, I actually like most Bowtech bows.

I dearly hope you meant 348.. 8)

Beman ICS Hunter Elite 400, 75gr G5 Montec. Total weight 355gr with 63 lb limbs

 

[chuck7413]

I have not weighed them, but according to the Easton shaft selector, my ICS Hunter 340's with a 100 grain head weight in at 427gr. That is including nock, vanes, insert etc.

Shot my 3 different arrows thru my Ross CR334 last night-

(363 gr.) 275.5 FPS
(383 gr.) 269.75 FPS
(412 gr.) 260 FPS

It did extremely well for having a "loaded" string with bowjaxs, peep, and a loop.

Yep, my fault, its fixed now. Thanks for the correction. :grin:

 

[bowshooter73]

My turkey arrows are 550 grains. They are a 32" 2413 with 125 grain GG broad heads.

My whitetail arrow are about 380. Maxiama hunters with 100 grain or 75 grain, depending on the setup (fixed or mechanicals)

 

[USMCarcher26]

My arrows

I using Beman MAX 4's and 85 gr. Stinger Buzzcuts and 85 gr. Grim Reapers weighs in at 399.9 grs. getting 57 ft. lbs. of Kenetic Energy

I guess I am living on the edge. i hunt in downstate NY(25 miles north of NYC and on the west side of the hudson river) where the deer average around 100-120lbs live weight. i am shooting blackhawk vapor jets 3000 series that weighs app 280-282gr and that includes the 55grain head(HCA). I am shooting a 337 DL 28.5 at around 55-56lbs. I have a shoulder injury therefore I only pull in the mid 50s. If rifle hunting was allowed in my county (archery only)I could probably use a .223 as the deer are small but plentiful.

 

[SMOKEWAGON]

Mine are fine. How are yours? Just kidding Mike.
Right now the only ones I have are the Easton Lightspeeds with
100 gr. broadheads for a total weight of 385 gr.
I haven't had the chance to chrono it yet but a buddy of mine is
drawing 29" shooting a 27 1/2" Lightspeed and getting 304 fps.
With my 30" draw and a 28 3/4" arrow I think mine will be just a
little faster than that.
I'm not going to get to shoot for a couple of more weeks because
I had back surgery on May 9th. When I start shooting again I'll run
it through the chrono just to see what I'm getting out of it.
