You never did mention what poundage you're shooting? Most will consider 375 gr too light, but I've popped the lungs on deer using arrows not much heavier than that, 405 gr to be exact. I typically shoot bows in the 45-50# range. Most folks would be surprisedhow little it takes to put an arrow through a whitetail deer. Shucks, I know a fellow hunter that put a 365 gr carbon through a 200+ pound hog a while back using a 60# recurve. The key though is getting good arrow flight and sharp broadheads. Personally, I feel that's more important than overallarrow weight. An arrow thatflies poorly is going tohave poor penetration no matter how heavy it is.

BC is right about the feathers if you're trying to shoot off the shelf.If you want to keep the vanes, you can set the bow upwith a stick on flipper rest, something like a Neet Pro rest or a Bear Weatherest. I've got a setup that uses a flipper rest and vains just for those not so dry days.
