I got new alphamax 32 this year too . Well what can i say ,i love it  :IBCOOL:  Nice draw ,very quiet , and plenty of speed  :IBCOOL: I use single pin sights ,with drop down rest ,2 inch blazers , 125 gr slick trick .
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

i haven't weighed the arrows and i really need to but based on advertisied weights i'm shooting 10.3 gpi 30.5" 340 splined camo st axis=314.15 grains, 100 grain slick tricks and then whatever i need to add for nock, wrap and 4 blazer vanes...i should be right around 425-430 grains. not sure how much i should add for the nock and stuff.

at a 70lb draw weight and 6 grain per pound minimum, i really need to weigh these arrows before i hunt with them. i might need to go to a 125 grain broadhead.


Your arrow weight:
10.3 X 30.5 = 314.15 shaft
                    +100      broadhead
                    +  16      insert
                    +    9      nock
                    +  20       3 blazer vanes & wrap
                     _____
                      459.15 grains total

459.15 / 70 = 6.559 and you are very legal.
