Whats Your Arrow Setup?
« on: January 08, 2015, 05:45:29 AM »
Hello all, was thinking about this the other day and was wondering what others shoot. My arrow setup is an Easton FMJ 400 with a 100 gr Montec G5. I am happy with how it shoots and have had pass throughs on the last 4 or 5 animals shot. I know its heavier than most but it seems to shoot well from my bow. Just curious what other run.
Thanks-Fuzznuts

Fuzz- I'm shootin Maxima 350's tipped with Wasp SSt Boss, Love em but this year my whole broadhead bent at about 30 degrees when I shot my elk then my dads sheared off where the threads start when he shot his deer. cheep aluminum, I don't know. I Have a buddy who used to shoot an old golden Eagle that had these giant thrust blocks. It didn't matter what arrow he shot that thing would blow thru an elephant.

I'm shooting a Nightfall 340 with a 125gr G-5, 3 Blazer vanes. I like a little more weight in the front for the stabilizing and punch factor. They work well for me. I had a devastating pass-through on my buck this year and the arrow traveled another 25 yards or so before stopping. The last elk I killed was with Zwicke 125gr 2-blades. Also a complete pass through going through the shoulder joint on the far side.  And, with the solid steel broadhead, no fragments left behind in the animal and it was good to go for killing a deer the next year. The only complaint I had with them was that they glue onto the mount and it's tricky getting them perfectly lined up. That's why I went to the pre-mounted Magnus 2-blade and eventually the G-5.

Gold Tip HT Hunters 7595's, Muzzy 100gr 4 blade broad heads, Blazer vanes and Nockturnal lighted nocks,  complete pass through on last 3 deer in pass 3 years.  This year was a little strange though.  I hit just behind the should nicking the shoulder blade with one of the broad head blades which that deflected in into a rib taking that out and causing the arrow to almost a 90 degree turn exiting out just in front the back hip on the other side.  Probably going to with 125 gr broad heads for this year.
