What do you think about this arrow set up?

Postby NCelkhtr » 03 25, 2014 •  [Post 1]

Looking at my total arrow weight being 462 gr. Should I add some more weight? I am shooting the Gold tip kenitic xt arrows with 125 gr terminal T broadheads. I can add 10 or 20 gr with different inserts if needed. My f.o.c at the moment is 12.7% which is about where I want it. I plan on getting a few of these arrows and settining them up this way before I start tuning and if they shoot well ordering a dozen. Just want to know if this is enough total arrow weight? Does the set up look good to yall? and what is your total arrow weight? just looking for feed back

Arrow weight sounds good, but IMO arrow flight is more important. What is you draw weight and draw length, and what spine and length are the arrows?

I think you spine is good, a little stiff, but that is o.k. You should be good to go with that combination. Get your bow tuned and go kill an elk.
