RE: How Heavy??

last year i was around 380gr finished. this year, i will be around 430-440 finished...450-460 with my tracer nocks in my hunting arrows. that weight gave me the most KE and the most speed. after that i lost speed and gain tinnnnny amounts of kE because i was loosing speed. took a little number crunching but 450-500grs gave me the most speed and KE out of my setup
