70lbs DW. Like I said after reading what some of the folks here had to say about heavier arrows, heavy FOC's, momentum and penetration I thought it would be fun to make the arrows and shoot them. If we are shooting deer inside of 30 yds why not a heavy arrow?
Why not indeed!! The arrows I am currently working are very similar. I have one that is 524 grains total weight, with a 200 grain tip and 3 - 4" inch feathers that has a FOC of 19%! I hunt elk out here in the big wild west - sometimes shots get a little farther than 30 yards.
Sounds great! Speaking of heavy tips, everything I hear about these
Silverflames seems to be fantastic, they have 100, 125, 150 180 and 210's. They are expensive but if I were elkhunting I think I would seriously consider them. You can buy them in the USA
here.
