I run 200 up front with a 300spine shaft, 28.5 DL, 72lbs, 508 total gr. Blows through every deer and elk I’ve shot. I like two holes.

I like the two holes approach as well. Do you use any inserts or just run them as standard ?

Ive shot 410-430 for decades and had 0 issues at 65lb draw going thru animals. Shot a moose twice at 65 yards with clean pass throughs. Todays bows with a quality arrow and good sharp head there isnt anything you cant kill in the states

That what I was thinking I just didn’t want to break the bank on a 6pack of arrows but like I mentioned above I wanna make sure I got enough punch.

300 Spine. Weight of components up front will definitely push you into that spine and you can get away with a lot more component wise and pretty much pick a total arrow weight/foc you want without much worry or issue unless you got a super high IBO speed bow.
This is also assuming you're cutting your arrows down to middle of the riser and not leaving a bunch out front. If you're going longer arrow, that might put you at 250 spine like mentioned above.
I'm at a 32" draw length and cut all mine around 30.75, without an overdraw.
I'd recommend a 5mm shaft size. Easier for components and little more forgiving tuning wise. Micro diameter needs a little more work and either have to go deep six or everything is outsert.
Hard to find a bad arrow these days from the major companies. Easton Axis is a great arrow.

I use 150hr head, 25gr insert and 25gr collar. All ironwill.
Black eagle rampage or rip tko shafts
This setup has worked great for me the past 5 or so years
