I personally like a little heavier combo. In Idaho 400grn of total arrow wt. is required. I like the combo of heavy arrows & razor sharp Cut On Contact heads like Stingers, Silver Flames, and the likes. I'm not into speed, I want through the bone power, & this setup delivers that.This years setup is 545 grn of total wt. That includes the 150grn broadhead at aprox. 223fps, that gives me aprox. 60lbs of KE. It's something for me to go by! My arrows are 27" at 70lbs--28" draw. You can shoot heavy carbons without a long arrow!!

Now we've taken plenty of elkwith lighter setups, & they'll work fine as long as you hit him where he lives!! Sometimes in order to do that you must get through Stuff, and some of that stuff is tough, like bone!! I like to know I can handle any reasonabdle situation, & some not so reasonable, not just the perfect broadside shot!!!-----Good Luck---ElkNut1
