RE: Arrow Weight for deer Hunting
I prefer aluminum because I can build them for cheap and my recipe is very accuratte to 40 yards. I forget, but I think I'm around 470ish?
I am building 2216 shafts with blazers, AL inserts in both ends and 150gr ABC Bolt Sonic broadheads.

light carbon.... add weight to increase FOC
Weight is good, but FOC is the key that makes the bolt. You can have a 350-380grain light bolt that outflies a 430grain bolt because of its FOC
I always hear theheavier bolts are quiet so thats why I like them. If someone buys a xbow to make it quiet then they are in the wrong market LOL[:'(] I have yet to hear a heavy arrow make a xbow quiet enough that it wont spook deer within 200 yards LOL

I chose light carbon becase I believe that's what the GT L II is
I have brass insert in front with a 100 grn head,I have a 22.6 grain lighted nock (flat)
Mine come in at 436.8 total
