i got a new hoyt last year and i killed 2 deer with it i liked the way it shot and everything but i wanted to try new arrows and maybe new broad heads. the bow is kinda slow being it is only set up at 53 pounds. "average speed is 215fps" but i am planning on moveing it up as my arm gets better. "hurt my shoulder"

my arrows are carbon furry's
my broadheads where 4 blade mussy's 100 gr.

i don't have any clue to which arrows to try but i was wondering if any of them will help speed up the shot a little.

and these new broadheads that are supposed to fly like feild points are kind of intresting me.

so what would you suggest?

my pro shop man told me today...as I was trying to decide on good ole XX75 or switch to carbon, aluminum is heavier thus will hit with more force= sinking deeper. The carbon is lighter faster but not as much force upon penetration. I think your good on the arrows for speed. Not sur about broad heads but keep in mind, you killed 2 deer last year. sounds like you got the right set up. sure, you could torque it up a bit, but why fix what ain't broken.
good luck and post yopur results/decision,

i am going to stay with the muzzy's but i may end up going back to the aluminum's not real sure. i shot acouple the other day that i had left from 2 or 3 years ago and they where shooting really really good. the probem is i don't like how they bend. so i will have to think about it some more.

What you do not realize that there are carbon arrows out there that will spine for the same weight bow that weigh anywhere between 5.5 to 15 grains per inch. Some of the carbon arrows available today are heavier then an aluminum spined for a specific set up.

Go to each companies web sites and look at their specs when you are trying to decide on a particular weight range for a finished arrow.

Deer are not especially hard to get an arrow through.

I shoot cabelas arrows. 10.5 grains per inch. They are plenty fast, and pack a good wollop when they hit. Try crimson Tallon broadheads, they say they shoot like field points, but I can't confirm that as I haven't tried them myself.

My wife shoots a 52 pound bow with 1916 xx75 ony 1 deer that she has shot has not been a pass thuogh.I think this year wife and I will switch to carbon arrows they now make them in a lot heaver than they did just a few years back.

As for boadheads I do not much like mussy, I use cut on impact blades the G5s are very good.steelforce broadheads are what my wife uses.They shoot very good in her bow.
