Just riged out my hunting arrows today for my new commander.Total arrow weight of 490grs at 260fps set on 64lbs.KE is 73.5; man that's a hard hitting arrow.What do you guys think?

Definitely able to hunt anything on the North American continent with that setup.

I know what your saying. I have a 2005 Old Glory set up shooting 65lbs with 453 grn arrows with a FOC of 22 (205 grains up front on that arrow fellas) shooting at just below 260FPS with Kinetic energy of 67 ft lbs. My bow has never shot better than it does with a high FOC setup. those arrows are flying great. I highly reccomend tinkering sometime with an arrow setup with a FOC over 18 or 19 trust me you will notice a difference.

I'm a bit surprised you could keep arrow weight that low with that much on the tip. I would expect you to need a pretty stiff arrow at 65 lbs, unless your draw length is short.

Your right about how well the high FOC arrows fly. My current ones, at 25% FOC are amazingly stable and true to the target. It's very noticable when shooting in high crosswinds and at long distances - 60-80 yards that I'm practicing at.

Straightarrow,
Yeah the part I left out was that I am shooting Gold Tip series 22 Pros cut to 27" with a draw length of 29" with that setup, so thats where I get a nice stiff spine to start with. When I run the numbers the spine comes up perfect.
