is this a good arrow/broadhead combination for deer,elk, and bear???

[firehawk87]

The arrow is a Easton ST Epic 400 and the broadhead is a slick trick 125 grain magnum.

How does it fly when you shoot?

I shoot beman 340 with 100 gr slick trick....  35 yard shot full pass through on Elk in 2009
Need to know poundage of bow etc.    Nockpoint likes to run 4 fletchings...  My broadheads fly like my field points so I don't argue.

Sounds a little light for my taste but I like heavy arrows. I'm sure it will work. What is your bows poundage?

[halflife65]

I'm pretty sure that's fine - good arrow and good broadhead.  What is your poundage and length of arrow?  With a heavy broadhead and light arrow, the only thing to worry about is making sure that you aren't under-spined.  However, if your arrow is short or your not pulling excessive draw weight it should be good.

60lb draw and 29'' arrow

It's not like changing bullet weights for different game, that arrow will do the same thing to all three species, put a hole in what ever you hit.

[halflife65]

Well, your arrow is long but your draw weight is light.  You can look up spines on the Easton website.  I think you're ok, though.  The ultimate answer is if it flies straight, though.

The Easton chart says you are good with a 400 spline arrow where you're at with that head, draw weight, etc.

 :chuckle:O here we go again  I shoot easton 400 with a 100 gr. WASP .. Yeah its light but I have no problems with them ...AND THIS IS JUST MY

I must be looking at a different chart http://www.huntersfriend.com/carbon_arrows/hunting_arrows_spine_chart_by_deflection.htm

this one indicates that he should be using a .330-.370 spine for a 125 gr. head on 29" arrow at 60#

overall arrow weight should be right around 408 gr. which is more than enough to be legal at 60#. the rest depends on your bow and its ibo speed to determine how much kinetic energy you're getting. i would say that it's probably enough. i think that you will probably be able to knock down any of those species with your setup.

i would probably still go with a stiffer spine, but that's just my

I just punched the numbers into the Easton shaft selector page.

If I choose the single cam selection it says to use a .340 spline shaft.
 

What kind of bow?

You should be using 340's.
