Just a word of caution here; if you set up any heavy arrows make sure the knocks are up to the task. I had the Pronghorn out today in the cold and shot the above mentioned Eastons among other arrows as well and had some problems with knocks pulling out so to speak (Easton super knocks and gold tips). Not a complete dry fire, the arrow would still make it to the target. Am going to check into better knocks if there is such a thing. One of the 2317s wouldn't hold a knock at all (four times in a row with new knocks) and a couple of others blew out as well in some old 340s. I've never seen this before so it must be cold related.  I am generally dilligent about keeping good knocks in arrows, even old ones so this wasn't a new concept to me.
It would not be the thing to have happen when shooting at a trophy on the last day of the hunt. Could be dangerous as well.

The target set up that I posted above is invalid now. I found out I had a dacron string on those 36# limbs. It came labeled FF. With a FF string those 3555 gold tips aren't holding up to the speed of the limbs now. Got to redo some arrows for those. Maybe a 31 inch 400 ultra lite GT at 22% FOC might do the trick. Just a guess though, It never ceases to amaze me as to how fast my widows really are.

for me, I can't get there (EFOC) and still be considering this a fun activity.....

My current arrow is a 31" supercedar footed on the nock end with a Reparrow to make a 34" (nock valley to bop) arrow for my 32"+ draw.  Run the Dynamic Spine program, and it already takes 105# spine to work with a 135-145 gr point on a 56#@32" bow.  This arrow weighs over 825g.  Nothing out there will work aside from harvesting telephone poles for shafts to allow me to bump point weight, and have a spine to handle this..... sorry, not this guy.  Glad many of you can do this, and gain results.

Shoot straight, shoot well.
