Big Game (Cape Buffalo, Grizzly)Easton Tech Support :I personally recommend going with something between 425-500 grains along with an 11-18% FOC. If you are between those ranges you will have a great arrow for big game. Just make sure that if you are using a lot of point weight on a 400 spine that you don’t make it too weak for your set up.

Right now the only way I can get 400's to tune is with a 100 grain brass insert and a 100 grain head. I go much past a 150 grain tip and the arrow comes out of the bow plum sideways. Toby
