Finding arrows

[Dirty Mike]

Seems likes its pretty hard to find arrows with the right weight. I know my 100 grn muzzys will add weight but im trying not to go to heavy, I wanna stay close to the 420 weight since I have a 70 lb draw. What arrows are everybody shooting with  70 lb pull?

[RadSav]

ACC Pro Hunter or Carbon Express Hunter KV for me when hunting Washington.  I have 27.5" arrows so I have to drop a few pounds too.  Damn expensive so I don't shoot as many grouse with the bow as I used to.  Now I carry a .410 in the truck - shot shells are cheaper!

I shoot a Beeman ICS 300 with blazers and a 100 grain heads. Puts me in at 423 to 425.
Draw is 30 at 70LBS.

I'm shooting Axis nFused 340s with Blazers, wrap and 100gr G5 Strikers.  Right in the 415 range.

When I shot 70#, I just had to leave my Cabelas Carbon Hunters at their full length to get the correct wieght.  This is a ridiculous requirement.  A minimum weight fine, but this is goofy.

70lb draw Easton axis .300 29.5" 100gr muzzy brass insert 125gr magnus stinger. 575gr total. Quite a ways from the 420gr that you want tho.

Not sure why you want to avoid a heavier broadhead.  My 70# draw shoots a lot better with 125 grain heads than 100's.  I shoot Beman MFX 300's at 28 1/8 inch arrow length, 29 inch draw on my Mathews Z7.  Heavier arrowhead is going to give you better kinetic energy and FOC.  The difference in impact point within 50 yards is negligible and past 50 yards with the increased FOC you will be more consistent and still have downrange kinetic energy to make the kill.  The heavier arrow lets you put more of the energy stored in the bow into the flight of the arrow (less is converted to vibration and noise).

I would look at the goldtips, either the expeditions at .006 or the xt's in .003. I have shot a lot of different arrows and they have always performed great. You would want the 5575's.

How long? Mine with virtually the same setup are 465 grains on a scale. 4 Blazers and 30" long or so...I can't remember exactly.

I added up what everything was supposed to be (nock, vanes, wrap, insert, broadhead) because I don't have a scale.  So, mine might be "unscientific" but hopefully within a few grains of accurate.  28" arrows.

[carpsniperg2]

I would bet you are closer to 450g.

[halflife65]

I'll go back and re-add everything up.  Maybe my math skills suck.

[carpsniperg2]

Lol no worries. Sometimes the figures they give for the weight of stuff is off a little.  Sounds like you are almost the same as josh and just 2 inches shorter. Those shafts are probably around 8g or so a inch so that would be like 16g less then his and would put you right at 450g. If you know anyone who reloads. Just use there scale and check them.

[halflife65]

Alright, just came up with a scale.  The arrow actually weighs 419.3gr.

Pretty close to what I was guessing.  I wonder what the difference between our arrows are. 

The arrows are 9.6 gr/in, so I guess that's almost 20 gr right there and an additional Blazer (I have 3) is something like 6gr.  Are the broadheads 125s?  If so, that would explain the difference pretty well - almost exactly.

[jackelope]

Shooting 100 gran slick tricks. Long wraps, 4 blazers. I think my arrows are 30.5" so I think we're right on the money, or thereabouts anyway. I weighed 3 different arrows on the same scale, all of them were exactly 465 grains.
