[Friend]

55# BW PCH
VPA VForce HV 350 - 28.5"
....100 gn insert
....300 gn Big 3
....32% Ultra-EFOC
....611 gn Total arrow wt

Full length penetration from sternum thru thigh exit on a doe utilizing a 4# lighter bow...she laid down on the spot.

Shooting same arrow out of a 4# lighter bow... completely disintegrated an 18 in 1 Rhinehart target in merely 3 1/2 weeks.

Shot my only bareshaft to bareshaft robinhood with this arrow excluding the fletching.

Mine is 54# with mfx 340 (680gr)and 4 blade zwickey deltas. Not quite 55# and 600gr but has been a real deadly combo so far.

I'll be playing with some 340s this week as well. I'm gona work up a solid, heavy arrow.

My rig is #52@28 drawned about 29.5", either an 80-85 Surewood for about 660gr with 145gr. point or ICS bowhunter 340 with 300 up front for about 630.

55# Damon Howatt Dream Catcher and 600 gr / 125gr heads on Douglas Fir shafts.  I actually draw it a little over for about 59to 60#.  Shoots well and hits with great penetration.

I'm shooting in the 50's since I don't elk hunt anymore.Arros average 560 to 600+ for now but I'm trying to get closer to 9grs per #.Don't feel the added weight is needed for whitetails.

[bruinman]

I shoot the same 608 grain arrow out of three different bows. 50#, 57#, and 62#. Maybe I'm just lucky but it works for me.

Try a 2117 in aluminum. Out of my "enhanced" 50 pound Bear A-mag (enhanced with fast flight limbs and 6 strand SBD string) I am shooting a 580 grain 2117 with 9" wrap and 5" feathers on the back end, and a glue-in-glue-on insert and 160 gr BH up front. A heavier point would get it up to 600 gr total weight easily.
With this I am close to 12 grains per pound but with the enhanced speed of the 6-strand string and a 29" draw length it shoots very well and hits hard.

[Gray Buffalo]

52 lb St. Joe River, about 55 at my draw length.  Gold tip 35-55 arrows cut to 30” with 100 grain brass insert, 100 grain steel adapter and WW up front.

Works great for me

55lb robertson fatal styk and 54lb robertson wolfer. Carbon express 250s cut to 29 inch with 300gr up front.

[Stickbender87]

heavy hitters with 100 gr up front insert and a 150 gr head, shooting out of a 58@28 or a 55@28 bow both set ups fly great! also shoot fmj's with 75 in front and 150 gr heads which fly very well arrows are weighing in around 580 and 640.

[centaur]

55@28 or very close with all my bows. Shooting cedars with 190 up front on 65-70 shafts that come in around 625 grains. I hunt everything with that setup, from stumps to an elk if I can find a cooperative one.

55# tomahawk longbow with arrow dynamics trads 100 grain brass inserts with 175 grain vpa 3 blades. (p.s. I file down the inserts a bit to create a smooth taper form the insert to the broadhead)
