Martin Savannah 55# @ 28" (52 @ my draw length).  Douglas Fir shafts, 28" to the back of the point, 5" LW helical-3 fletch, 125 grain Zwickey Eskimos, about 530 grains total.  I don't quite understand the concept of "up front"--up front of what?

Howard Hill carbon backed Wesley Special. 66" long, 55@28. 29", 60-64 spined cedar shafts, with 125 grain Bear Razorhead or Wensel Woodsman broadheads. Total arrow weight with broadhead 625 to 635 grains. Would not hesitate to hunt with this setup down to 550 grains in arrow weight, if I did not have heavier shafts. Keep'um Sharp".

What I meant by "up-front" is that saying you shoot a 125 grain broadhead doesn't always accuately reflect your total weitht on the tip.  Lots of folks use brass or steel inserts behind their broadheads or foot their shafts.  For example, if a person is shooting a 150 gr. Stinger with 100 gr. brass insert, then they are really shooting 250 grains up front.    ;)  Possibly I stated it incorrectly.
