I bet.
The heaviest arrows I've shot was when I was just starting out.
They were ash with 190 grain tips.

Rainbow traj... but rocked a target..lol

That is always fun to see the target move when you hit it.

If you want to try something g different get ahold of Forestrt ( he is a sponser) hardwood shafts.  I have some hard rock maple that are indestructible!  He can hook you up with some moderate spined 5/16th hardwood shafts that weigh well over 500 grains.  Great guy to deal with.  I got some Red Balue (sp?) shafts spined 60# that weigh in the 580 grain range last week.  He tapered the tips to 11/32 for a couple of inches, almost like a hammer head except for wood.  

Also a great guy to deal with.
