    Deer... and an occasional hogs. Heavier arrows have many advantages, especially for those of us who consider a 30 yard shot long-range.

    Mine are around 490-500 last time I checked. Amazing how much quieter a bow is with heavier arrows that absorb the energy more on the shot.

    29" 340 Camo FMJs (maybe 29.5")
    5" Onestringer Custom Wrap
    2" Blazers
