    I have a dozen gold tip xt's that are at 421 grains and am in the process of building some victory vforce that will come out to 436 grains. That's with a 100gr head and 50gr insert, blazer vanes and a 5in wrap. I have a 29in draw at about 68#s.

    454 gr. Easton aftermath with lums on back and 125 gr Magnus Snuffers up front. Shoot same arrows in compound and recurve just to keep life simple even though they are a bit stiff for recurve.

    I am pretty sure my arrow only weighs in at 400 grain. It's a GT Pro Hunter with a 100 Grain tip.

    Just built some Blu RZ’s at 430gr. Have some BEA Spartans at 420gr and some Zombie Slayers at 410gr. All at or around 15% FOC. I’ll be hunting with the RZ’s this year.

    419 Easton fmj with trophy taker shuttle t lock for elk. Nap killzone for deer.

    Thinking about going to 125 grain trophy taker shuttle t lock for both to add some additional weight. Shooting 100 grain broadhead now.

    420 grain total weight. Beman Bowhunter or White Box arrows for me (same shaft / components, different label).

    Switching to a lighted nock for the hunting arrows will add another 10 grains unless I shorten them by an inch to keep the weight consistent

    I'm also considering using the White Out shafts for hunting. The shaft is lighter but with a 125 grain tip the total weight ends up in the same ballpark.
