    Greetings. Looking to build a good Hunting Arrow... Easton Hexx 400 29.5" Arrows. Not sure which insert to use. I have the Brass 50 or 75 gr., I plan on using a 100 or 125 gr. BH (Dirt Nap) - Vanes: 3" Flex Fletch Silent Knights, or 2" Blazers. (which of these, would be best to use?) I will be using a Whisker Biscuit rest, V con (the new model) I shoot a 50 lb. Bow, using Fingers... 30/35 yds., is the Max... I will be using a "Bitz" Jig to fletch the Arrows. Could I please get some input as to what will work best. Thanks, J.

    Use the 50 grain brass inserts, then start with 125 grain heads and if it shows weak, which I think it might then drop back to 100 grains

    Personally with that broadhead i would go with blazers, the extra height will help steer them.
