DnK, do you have a certain total weight of your bolts that you prefer for hunting deer? I have 3 reloading scales so I have no problem weighing them!

Nope, my Exocet doesn't seem to care too much about what wieght the broadheads are. I am using 125 grain tips with a total weight of 450 to 453 grains. I am using 20" 2117 eastons. The last deer I took was at 38 yards. Raking away angle and put behind the ribs, came out of the front of its chest. Walked another 30 feet and died on its feet. Was using the old 125 gr wasps that Excal recommended. I am AR about where the string sits on the rail. I figit untill its perfect. I think this is the biggest key to accuracy. I think it takes a back seat to arrow weight FOC etc. If I have to comment on weight I think 100 grains is the lower limit and 125 grains may be better, but there is very little difference in accuracy in my bow if at all.

I use Excal's dacron flemish string. It is a two coloured non-continuous, dacron string. You loose a bit of speed, it is easier on the limbs, it is more quiet, and looks cool. You can get different colours.
Reb, that link doesn't work. BTW for an old geezer you are pretty amazing on a computer, most guys my age or older know sweet ---- all and are afraid of computers. Good for you Reb!
