good luck!

the only issue with alums is durability - they bend and dent too easily ... but they're fairly easy to tune to yer bow and you.

At 51 # @ 28, my Victory HV 350’s both bareshaft and shoot Big Jim’s ‘Big 3’ 300 grain heads quite nicely. The finished arrow is 28.5”s, 400 gns up front, 608 gns tot wt and 32.4% Ultra-EFOC.
Your shelf is likely less than my 1/8” past center shelf and could require a weaker shaft. I would estimate that a Victory HV400 with a 100 gn insert and a 250 gn head at 29”s would be approximately 547 gns and 30%+ Ultra-EFOC.

Note: Average bag targets don't care for these Ultra-EFOC set-ups.

Changed my arrows after more research and etc...plus I read over ya'lls post a bunch

Fletched Beman MFX Classic 500 - Dozen
Woodsman Broadheads Glue-On 125 grain
125 gr. Steel BH Adapters
9.7 GPI of just arrows, total weight of arrows only at 29" is 281.3 grns. Plus the 250 grn head is 531.3 grns!  Leaving me at 18.3 GPI in the end. Im very happy with this arrow, please tell me Im doin right? All this is gonna set me back $153, but I figure I would buy 2 dozen aluminums before I would 1 dozen carbons.
*COMING SOON* Bama Hunter Longbow #53 @ 28"
