Whats you Hunting arrow weight
 
The title says it all, so whats everybodies hunting arrow weight for this upcoming deer season? Trying to get an idea of whether or not people prefer a lighter faster arrow our a heavier arrow with more K.E.

Carbon Express Terminator XP Selects 6075s 28" @ 10.6gpi
125gr 3 blade muzzys
30gr tracer nock
11gr insert

puts me about 460grains for my hunting arrows. speed is about 260fps with a KE of about 69ft/lbs...

i rather hit them with something heavy than something light. light and fast dont do much for me...

396gr total arrow weight. Not sure how many fps my vipertec is shooting but it is fast enough.

475 grains total weight for me. I was shooting 400 grains at 300 FPS, but opted for 475 at 270 fps. Actually, there was only a VERY slight increase in KE... not enough to matter. Trajectory didn't change much at all, and my bow became MUCH more quiet. I'm sold on a heavier arrow.;)

Good answer, I am going to hunt this year with 200 grain Muzzy Phantoms giving me a FOC about 21 %... I shoot 3D with a 430 grain, more stable in flight.
