Wow agree! 31 years of killing deer with a bow and I don’t even understand all, this .

I am with ya on that one. My old Easton aluminum 2117's shoot about as good as anything. If I ever run out I may look into carbon but until then it will be status quo:elf:

So I got my new arrows,bumped the total weight from around 350 to 535. What a difference that is,haha. My bow is super quiet now,but the arrow drop is a lot bigger too. My 20 yard pin was close,the 30 had to go down a ways,the 40 even more. But i like the heavier arrows,after a lot of fiddling i got bareshafts and fieldpoints hitting the same at 20 yds. I will try broadheads over the weekend and see how that works.

what draw weight are you shooting? I don't think I'm ending up that heavy with a 60lb bow. probably stay at 480-490 grains. otherwise i'd use one basic pin and shoot an arrow a lot heavier than that. it's almost a glorified trad bow at that point.

I shoot 60# at 29.5 DL. I still have to shoot through a chrono but my guess is i am 230 to maybe 240. I shot 300 with my light arrows.

I dont shoot at deer at 40 yds,so speed is not that important to me.
