Me and a couple of friends switched to carbon and found that the best combination for us has been 100 grain brass, and a 125 grain tip. this gets us up to a reasonable weight arrow to hunt with.It is also easier to find 125 broadheads, small game heads, and points at our local stores. Since the demand of the local hunters is based on 100 grain heads out of a compound we seem to find all the 125 heads we want in the clearance bins around town.

They sure look nice in the target Les. Good shooting.

Found some good reading on Pete Wards site.Look at his trad review for Ace points and he talks about heavy point weight.(Peteward.com)

Well its been about 2 months now and I can't find one reason not to shoot this set up. That's it,the 350 stays.

I guess I dont understand why some think its "overkill" to have to much arrow. I like 1 arrow for everything from a Racoon to a moose. Keeps it simple...Why not shoot a "extreme" arrow for everything, as long as you get great arrow flight and penetration  :confused:

350 up front, 29" beman 500, 585 total arrow weight, 29.7% foc, 55.5# longbow.  it's what works best for me.  

all this chatter about foc and front end package weights can get too bogged down in gear techie-ness - all that matters is what works best for you and yer bow ... and that's gonna take some s'perimentin' and less spectulatin'.  :cool:
