Gear was a Hoyt GM1, 40#@28 (actually 44@28 on my scale, a bit over 46 at my draw) shooting a Vapor 2000 full length, standard insert, 125g SlickTrick Mag BH, stuffed with weedwacker line to reach ~485gr with 4x 3" parabolic cut feathers.  

Hope this helps, Rusty!

Ya know, some guys just go and have a beer after a stressful day at work.  I like your afterwork routine much better.
