    I currently own both a compound and recurve and wanted to upgrade a little bit and try to take a deer with traditional equipment my usual set-up is a out dated pearson 45 lb and 62 inch in length and I had awesome results with the Easton fmj 400s with a 50 grain brass insert and 125 grain montecs so what im getting at is hoyt has the Tiburon in a hunting model so what do you guys think about a 50lb 62 inch model my draw length is 30 inches and I was thinking about trying the Easton hexx in the 400 with a brass insert 50 or 75 grain with the same g5 broadheads would this be a good set-up due to the high FOC with that light arrow I can hit a gallon milk jug at 50 yards consistently with my current set-up and would like to keep the accuracy but just want a newer set-up any info would be greatly appreciated thanks and hunt hard.

    You plan on taking a 50 yard shot at a deer too?

    no absolutely not I don't believe in taking a shot that far on an animal with traditional equipment theres to much to factor in my normal practice is about 25-30 yards i just like the distance for fun

    With your long draw, you'll be pulling about 56#. The arrow set up sounds good...you might not need the 50gr brass insert though

    Good to hear!! :) Them g5's might make me nervous though with how sharp of an angle they are when it comes to penetration. I'd look at getting a 2 blade in the same weight possibly.

    Best of luck!!!
