Beman MFX classic weight

[Widow's Son]

My Beman arrows weight in at 481grs. I'm shooting a BW 46# at 28". I plan on hunting with a 125gr Woodsman Elite. In ya'lls opinion is this enough weight or should I use the weight tubes to bump up the total wieght. Using a 3gpi tube will get the arrow up to around 563grs.

What are you planning on hunting?  Are you using 500's?  If you do want to go up in weight I'd suggest putting the added weight up front rather than using a tube.  You'll get more benefit in regards to penetration moving the weight up front.

I'm hunting whitetail deer. I'm sorry, I guess the animal I intend to hunt would make a big difference. LOL. Yes Sir, I am using the 500 shafts.

From one BW shooter to another bump your point weight up and forget about the weight tubes, you'll be much happier.

I shoot Beman MFX black 500s at 29.5 inches and 200 grain point.  I shoot a 51@29 PCH Widow. I bet you can shoot a lot more point weight than you think. Try 175, 200, 225, and 250 to see which shoots best

If those are flying well, I wouldn't change anything. I shoot the exact same arrow and it goes completely thru our deer. 480 grains is enough for deer imo.

That's pretty close to 10 gpp. I gurantee those shafts will go straight through a deer.

That'll be fine on weight but you might be over spined. Wouldnt hurt to try a 150 or 175 gr head

[LimBender]

MFX are one of the heaviest shafts out there, especially if you use the 50/75 grain HIT insert.  On deer, don't see any reason to add tubes and deal with movement and all that.  As others have said, just add point weight.  With the 75 grain hit, 125 tip and feathers, you should have a total weight around 500 gpi, which is plenty for #46.

In fact, one reason I didn't get MFX other than the small diameter was the fact that it is heavy and would make a 400 arrow with 250 grain bh and 50 grain hit total over 600 grains.

10gpp and sharp broadhead in the right place will work just fine.

[Real Buckmaster]

I would try the 175 grain and 200 grain point
I went to the heavier tip wts about two years ago and never looked back.  Our bow specs and draw lengths are pretty close.

A 150 or 175 grain broadhead will give you a little more FOC, but you are already surpassing 10 grains of arrow weight to your bows weight. If you have good arow flight...let er' rip!!!!
