Default Arrow Help

I just got a new dozen Beman ICS hunter 340 shafts and I am wanting to set them up for next season. Can someone tell me what the weight of these arrows will be cut to 30 inches, 100 grain muzzy heads, easton super nock, and 3, 4 inch duravanes? Will my foc be high enough with these heads, as I want to keep my finished arrows as light as possible without having to go to a heavier head? I know I could try feathers, but I am partial to vanes and their durability. What do you think of these shafts? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I shoot 65-67 pounds and like to stay around 6 grains per pound of draw weight for extra speed. Thank you.

Default RE: Arrow Help

BH, a 340 in black should weigh 438 gr with a 100 gr head. 9.1% FOC.
In camo, 459 gr & 8.7% FOC. Black with 125 gr head, 463 gr & 11.2% FOC. Camo, 484 gr & 10.7% FOC. FOC may be low with a 100 gr broadhead, but you could try it an see how they shoot. These numbers are from Jackson's site. Good luck.
