My ACS is about 47# at my draw and my woodies weigh 600 and a bit more sometimes; but I try to keep it under 650 grains.

I've got a decent full range of light, medium & heavy. All my bows are pulling between 58 & 61# at my 30" My arrows are;
CX heritage 250 at 650gn
Beman MFX 400 at 600gn
GT 5575 at 550gn

All with 100gn inserts & either 150 or 200gn points. Luckily, I can shoot any of the arrows out of any of my bows, with any combination of 150 or 200gn broadheads! They all fly like lazers!

Terry,
Are you using the Sasquatch as a "2 blade" or with the insert as a 4 blade?

For me I prefer to set up my bows to shoot a trajectory that works for my eye. So I always start out with an arrow that was about 650gr total weight. Currently the set up I'm using has me shooting a total arrow weight of 722gr which puts me at around 14gr/lb at 51lb at draw.
