14.2 for hunting.......12.2 for 3-D and target!
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki

50lb with a 535g arrow at the moment,but I also have some 610g arrows that I also use.
Both are based on shafts that are 10gpi but I know know what the gpp is.
Winning or losing is not the important thing,,the important thing is how well you played the game.

At the moment I'm using this setup due to my tendonitis..

35@28 - 405gn POC = 12,67 GPP

My setup for when I'm healed up will be:

47@27 - 520gn GoldTip = 11 GPP
Centaur 58" Glass XTL 40@28

740 gr arrow from Both my Widows= 12.1 - 12.7 GPP

I have a anoth Widow coming that one will be 65#. + or - 2 lbs. So that should end up 11.3 GPP or so.
