No! The whole purpose of me shooting 3d is to compete. I travel to national events to shoot 3d competitions, as well as indoor ones. Its not about getting better at hunting for some
Its a competitive sport just like anything else. How deep you delve into it depends on what you want to get out of it.
Anyways, I'd say your arrow weight is probably 400+ with the FOB on it. If your getting 360gr by just adding the tip weight and shaft weight you will need to account for the nock, insert, and fletchings, and anything else. There is much more to arrows than lighter and heavier as well.
