For the fall, I'll be using my Bob Lee 65 @ 28 with 190 gr grizzly. Total arrow weight around 650 grain, God willing.

BC spot and stalk, set up Morrison 56# @ 27"s Shawnee FMJ 500s with a 150grn Silver Flame XL up front. Wieght is right around 500grns getting thumped out at 196. I know it's light for some but they penetrate like a son of a gun. Plus you can shoot through much tighter brush or windows.  It's not crazy high FOC but it up at 18% plenty for me.  Good Luck evry one post pics. My hunts the end of May into June. Hope I time it right!!
