Question for you veteran hunters...
I was wondering if you guys would look at this arrow setup and see what you would shoot. I am considering going back to a 100 grain point. Check these specs and see what you would do. I know bowhunting is a lot about opinion but I enjoy hearing the good information from the experienced guys on this site. Thank for any help.
Bow: Mathews LX @ 67 lbs
Arrow: Goldtip 7595 XT Camo Hunter @ 29 "
Release: True short n sweet
Sight: Copper John Dead Nuts
Broadhead: 125 gr Thunderhead or ???
What would you hunt with and still have good flight (100, 115, 125,etc.)
Let me know what you think.

RE: Question for you veteran hunters...
I don't think you'll see much difference between the 100 and the 125... most 125s have a little greater FOC and a slightly larger cutting diameter. This could cause an increase in planing.. but I've never had and issue w/ it. I don't really worry much about point weight.. as long as FOC is good and they fly well.

RE: Question for you veteran hunters...
The biggest thing you need to consider is arrow spine. You do not want an arrow too stiff or too soft. It looks like you set up will work. You are shooting the 7595's, why not the 5575's. the 7595's should work fine but they might not give you the ULTIMATE arrow flight. I am not too familiar with the Mathews stuff, maybe you need a heavier, stiffer arrow for that set-up. One thing for sure is you should have no problem with penetration. Good luck with your set-up.

Of course as another poster said though..if it's working OK and you are happy with your tune and groups, then I wouldn't change. If however you feel you are not getting the accuracy you should, you may consider going to a lighter point.
