    Last season I was shootin Carbon Express Heritage 150 that came in at 610g, tipped with Stingers, Snuffers or a Woodsman broadhead!

    I switched over to Douglas Fir wood arrows. They are 550g and hit hard. They will be tipped with a 2 blade head, single bevel, Most likely the Abowyer, also some arrows will be tipped with a Stone Point that will weigh 125g, can't wait!
