I'd like some input specifically from hunters shooting this bow, or similar setup. I am shooting a 2011 Bow Madness MP (32" axle-axle). 29" draw length, 62# Arrows: PSE 200 BowMadness arrows (also use Carbon force Radial X weave STL Hunters-200) shaft 28.5", 100 gr. field points 12 grain inserts Point + shaft + insert + nock and vanes = 365 grains total weight According to a couple standard charts, I am somewhere on the border of these arrows (200's) and the 300's. I have had two arrows break on deer, and I am not a high volume shooter (just practice for hunting throughout the year). Do I have the correct spine/arrow selection? Is the shaft length correct? Any recommendations for a great hunting arrow that would be a better? Thanks!
I shoot a pse brute rated only slightly lower fps slower than the bow madness. I used those exact arrows same length and point wt. and found them to be slightly to weak in spine I went with the 300's and they seem to work better for me.
That's what I have been thinking. I'll try some 300's...thanks! Update: ordered some Deer Crossing Hunter arrows, designated 350 Spine. This will only make my total arrow weight 5 grains heavier, but should be stiffer. I've seen good reviews, they're inexpensive and they sent a delivery notice within a couple hours of ordering. I'll let you know what I find out after I get them and test.... Update #2: Much better/consistent results with the new arrows. Killed 2 deer with them last year...tighter groups when practicing.
