Default Arrow selection question

I have tried one of the lightest carbon arrows (CX 200@7g/" ) total weight with 100g field tip @ 351g, I' ve also tried one of the heavier carbon arrows (Terminator Hunter@11g/" ) total weight with 100g field tip @ 453g. in my new Bow. The KE difference is less then 1# (62-63# range) and momentum is within 1/100' s however the heavier arrow is 33fps slower (249fps vs 282fps) and also the heavier arrow has alot more drop, that all being said I like the lighter arrow as I' m not gaining any KE or Momentum with the heavier arrow and with the lighter I gain 33fps and alot less drop...........except that the lighter arrow is alot more noisey which I believe is mainly string noise. I have a new VFT 60#/28" and it came with string silencers etc. can anyone recommend additional help quieting down the string noise? OR have any addition input on arrow selection/weight etc.?

Default RE: Arrow selection question

Have you tried Limb Savers? I know there are some stabilizers that offer vibration control as well.
