I have too many bows and set-ups but my two go to bows would be
50@27 palmer classic, 150 heritage with 100grain insert and 125grain point I think totaling with fletch and wrap around 570 grains.

2nd is a Darton Pittsley preditor, 50@28 w/8S-SPD string, heritage 250, 100grain insert and 200grain points and totals 640grains..

broadheads can be anything I have em all, with these arrows if the hit is right pretty much any sharp broadhead works and goes right thru,, But make note I shoot the heaviest arrows I can for quietness and stability..

Had to go back and check on your title, looks like some guys are ready to shoot white whale not white tail... ;)

Last year I ran 575gr. Gt 5575 out of a 51@28 bow for about 165 fps.  Shot through everything.  Looks like this year will be about 600 as I want to try wood and they are all coming in around 600-640.  I also got a bunch of 2020s cheap that weigh about the same.

Over the past three years I've hunted with arrows that weighed 424-505 grains with identical pass-through results. My broadhead has been a 125 2-blade single beverl every time.

My draw weights for hunting have ranged 46-48 pounds. A different hunting bow each year (for the fun of it).
