I'm shooting traditional at 75-80 pounds.  Goldtips at 322 grains give or take a little with inserts etc. and 125 heads and think I am shooting WAY TOO LIGHT (447).  I am currently investigating some heavier sticks and heads. 

Yeah I'm sure you're New Mexico Elk feels the same way. ;)

ICS Hunter (9.3 grains per inch) at 29" and 100 grain tip would be darn close to 430 grains, so that'd be barely legal.
ICS Camo Hunter (10.0 gpi) would be 451 grains, so that's legal too.

Yeah, kinda why I haven't changed anything yet.  Moose, elk and deer all in the bag without a problem, why screw with my set up.
