Being from Idaho I too likea heavy arrow for elk. For me a 400 grain arrow is light and I will not dip below that even though the arrowweightlaws changed for this year. We can now use a300 grain arrow,for all big game if weso wish provided we use a fixed blade broadhead.IMO thats way to lightno matter what the circumstances are,heck even a 450 grain arrow like my 7595'sgold tips XT's. Which are mycurrent elk arrows, are on the light side for elk. But on the flip side I sure wish I had a lightweight arrow set up just for antelope out of blinds where the shots can tend to be on the long side.Antelope are smaller than thewhitetails around here and their skin is very thin. Compared to mule deer and elk their bones are easy to slice, breakand penetrate, for most arrow broadhead combo's. Overallit doesn't takea lotKE for a pass throughon them.With that said I am in the process doing this right now for my switchback XT.That bow fully set up isa nice small package thats fitsperfect in blinds. My new Drenalin is comming soon and these last two years I have used the 05 Switchback as my main elk/deer hunting bow. So between them (Drenalin, 05 Switchback)I will have to decide what bow I really like the best for my main hunting bow and what bow will play the back up for this year. That's leaves the XT just sitting waiting to never get used unlessI make itinto aantelope hunting bow. lol Pathetic I know but hey I try hard to play will all the toys in the toy box. lol It might just be a good pay off too come fall!After all I can goantelope hunting knowing that I don't have to play switch a roo with my arrowsat the start of elk/deer season(august 30)which happens to be the middle of the antelope season(august 15 till september 15). In the pastwhen I have archery antelpe hunted I have always justused my elk hunting set up which is awesome under 40 yards. But longer than 40 yards my arrows that drop like rocks. Yes it should be nice, oh wait I just had another idea, maybe my antelope set up will also be a perfect turkey set up.
Who knows?
