The pro shop was in line with what you guys are saying. I am looking at shooting a 29" arrow that is in the 400-425 gr. range including 100-125 grain broadhead. Call me nuts but I like a heavier arrow, but get too much drop and a lack of speed with my old PSE I am shooting.
What kind of speed can you realistically get with a 70lb. bow shooting 350-400 grain arrows these days? Last time I checked my bow I was shooting around 258-260 with 375gr. arrows.
Shouldn't be an issue! I have a Hoyt Ultra-tec, probably 5 years old at this point (versa cam model). I shoot a 28.5 inch arrow at 65 lbs, with just under 30 inch draw length, arrow is a 2314 with 100 gr head, not sure on the total weight but it is WELL over 400 gr. I shoot this around 265. Same setup on todays Hoyt will probably push around 280+
