Default Guys with your speed bows in excess of 300 fps

Well, I am getting an 82nd Airborne(IBO 342-350 fps) this week and I would like to know your broadhead flight with these fast bows. I shoot Slicktricks and want to stay with them as I really like the performance and flight I get out of my Guardian....just curious as what to expect. I will have a hunting setup, so I won't be sending my arrow at this IBO speed of course, but just would like to hear your experience with different broadheads.

Also how you all have your 82nds setup with accessories..pics too if you have them.. Also what speeds your bows are producing with hunting arrow setups. thanks!!

I've had Slick Tricks fly same POI as field points from a paper tuned bow @ 40 yards with arrow speed of 305 fps.

Im shooting muzzys at 325 fps out of mine at 68 lbs with a 400 grain arrow for a cool 94 ft lbs of KE. After getting .300 spine arrows, I'm able to get them to within a 1/2" of my field points at 30 yards, and a little under an inch at 40, so I left it at that.

Mine is outfitted with a viper microtune .010 pin sight, doinker chubby hunter 3" stabilizer, and trophy taker.

I shot rages this year with my 101st. I shot a 400gr. arrow at 290fps at 61# 29.5" draw. I never had any flight issues. Just shoot really heavy arrows for hunting and you will be fine.

Not wanting to sound stupid-but when you state your arrow weight are you including the broadhead as well??
