    Easton 340 Full Metal Jackets Camo(470 Grain finished arrow)
    White Wraps
    Flo Yellow and White Blazer Vanes
    Rage 2 Blades, and Slick Trick Mags

    &

    Easton 340 Flatline DOA's(378 Grain finished arrow)
    White Wraps
    Flo Yellow and White Blazer Vanes
    Rage 2 Blades, and Slick Tricks

    I am sighted in with the Flatlines. However my FMJ's are good out to 40yrds if I use my 30yrd pin for my 20, my 40yrd for 30, etc...(that will be all I need for hunting, out to 30 but I am good to atleast 40)
    I have checked this with field tips and both broadheads on each arrow. I was shocked that it worked out that way!!

    The Undisputed King will be using a straight arrow with three vanes. Probably a broadhead.

    Man I played around today and built some bulldog arrows. They must weigh around 600 plus grains. I had some 400 grain Beman's cut at 28 inches. I bareshaft tuned the arrows over the course of a couple of hours. I had to really up the weight of the arrow, particularly the front to get it to shoot well.(have 260-270 grains or so up front) They were hitting like a ton of bricks at around 12-15 yards with no feathers. I am going to put on the feathers soon and give em a go. I had the materials and the time to play around and make em. It was a lot of fun.

    Beaman 400 elites with 2" blazers, and 100 grain spitfires. Total arrow weight 395 grains. Same set-up for years, every year I think about trying something new but they allways fly where I aim them, and put deer down in eye sight. Cant change for change sake.

    Easton Nano ST Axis 300s
    4" Feathers
    100 Grain Rage 3 Blade

    No clue how much they weight, but they are full size at 32.5 so if my math is correct...hell I have no clue.

    I have a new dozen coming in since I want spares and will figure out what they weigh then.
