Default Which arrow weight?

I will be shooting a 2007 Bowtech Tribute and 2007 Bowtech Alliegiance. Both set at 63-65 lbs. 29" draw length.

I will be using a 100 grain Slick Trick.

What arrow weight should I get for the fastest, quietest, and deadliest combination?

I currently have Axis Epic ST 400s and GoldTip XT5575s. I shoot them with 2" Blazer veins.

I am looking for a fast arrow. Are these my best best or should I try another?

Thanks for helping someone who knows nothing about arrows![/align][/align]

The GT's are a little lighter per inch than the Epics if you are looking for speed, but not much. I have an '07 Ally w/ 30" DL and with CX 3D selects thatweigh about the same at the GT's you have at 65# but a 125 gr tip I was shooting 284 fps w a 28" arrow. Both of those arrows are about as light as you will find and still be over the 5 gpp min for the Bowtech's and both are good choices.

Quiet wise the heavier arrow will always be more quiet. Noise should not be an issue with either bow. Practice a lot and the combination you have is plenty deadly.

CX Maximas are a high quality light weight arrow. The FOC hunter is a tad heavier but the FOC is worth it IMO
