Right now I’m using some toparchery shafts (cheap) with 3 blazer vanes, lighted knocks, and some 2 blade fixed 150 grain ozcut style that come as sharp as a butter knife but are 3 bucks a head. I’m of a different mindset where if I can shoot something with my bow I will. Turkey, grouse, rabbits. I get more reps in a season than all my buddies cause they spend a bunch on components and would rather save it then practice.
All my arrows are 442 grains and I only carry ones that spin perfectly true.

Tried and true Goldtip Hunter XT 340 spine 29in 100gr broadhead, Blazer vanes with 3 in wraps. 413gr total weight

Same here...Gold Tip Hunter XT's 500 spine, cut to 28" -  125g Magnus Black Hornet Broadheads w/ 50g brass inserts & Keaup lighted nocks...380-ish total weight with a 13%+ FOC

Really happy with them and the buck they took down last year

I had some long conversations with ChatGPT about my specific bow specs and hunting method when I designed my arrows.

was shooting Carbon Express. Just got a dozen Victory V-Force Elite which I'm really liking. If you buy Victory be sure send in for their free shirt and hat. Also have some Gold tip Hunter Pro coming -- I'll tell that story later
