I ran a BE carnivore cut at 28 inches with 50 grain insert and 100 grain ST mag FF 360s came out to 420 on the nose.
I wont be running anything that light ever again unless for 3d or the sort.
Thinking this year I will go with BE rampages with 75 grain insert and 100 grain head.

Worried that it is going to come out weak from a 70 lb decree hd
Typed it all into my on target and it comes in dead in the green at 28 inches .250 spine but I always try and err on the stiff side.
Figure I can turn it down or cut it shorter if it wont tune

Nice, what is the draw weight on your bow?

I assume by your name you are in the military, thanks for your service.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Think it's right around 64lbs. Turned it up from 60. Also shoot Gold Tip Traditionals with 110grain inserts and 100gr ABS Samurais, total around 542gr, but that's for a 50lb longbow.

I leave mine a little long.  That way the broad head sits out past my finger.  And it made the difference between the 250 or the 340s.  The 250s are way to stiff.   Even the 340s seemed brittle but durable enough.  I shoot the 125 grizz tricks and four helical fletch.  Tunes just fine at 72 lbs for me.

I was wondering how some of the GT's setups were making weight. Maybe shooting less than 70 pounds? When I researched getting GT's  sizing chart for 70+ pounds chart recommends .300 spine. I know you can add brass weights but most aren't specifying that in their setup except for Coach.

I'm currently shooting Carbon Express Maxima 350's @ 29", brazers vanes, 125 tip and I'm at 420.

Don't you know you can't kill an elk with that?  You must shoot calves! :chuckle:
