arrow/broadhead choice

[newred]

So I have been looking at new arrows and can't decide if I am going .300 spine and 125 grain points... or .340 spine and 100 grain points. I shoot a 70 pound 29.5  inch G5 Quest Primal. I have heard that that bow likes a stiffer arrow. What do you guys think? Anybody have any pointers?

I think the 300 might be a little better for you.  You could have problems with the 340.  I think you could still shoot the 300 with 100 grain tip.

Seems the newer bows like stiffer arrows better.

So long as the dynamic spine is correct, I'd shoot the .300 with a 125 grain tip for the extra arrow weight.

I shoot a .340 spine with 125 grainers, but I'm shooting a slower, smoother cam than the new bows.

I shoot 68 lbs with a 300 and 100 gr slick trick.... Full pass through on Elk at 35 yards.

300/125 Is best, but even a 340/125 will still have plenty of spine for that setup.

[newred]

Thanks for the input. I am having a hard time deciding on 100 grain or 125, but think I will get .300 spine just can't decide on which arrow yet.

Goldtip velocity 300. With at least a 125

I like the Easton axis 340 with a slick trick 125 and killed my deer at 83 yard and it buried the arrow all the way to fletchings. I'm buying a bowtech invasion 70-80 pull so im going to shoot the axis 300 with 125

Easton epics 340/100 shoot great best of all made in the usa

More than half of the bowhunters today go with way too light of point in there set-up and then wonder why they get such poor results in the wind and rain.  To give you a well educated answer we need some additional information:

What arrow are you wanting to shoot?
What fletching are you planning to shoot?
Are you wanting wraps or no wrap?
What length will your arrows be cut at?

It would also be beneficial to know if you are shooting a D-Loop.  If so what length is the loop.  Even what release you are shooting often has some effect if you are caught between arrow spines.

I'll do a work up for you if we can get the answers to these questions.

I shoot a 150gr Samuri or Massai two-blade cut-on-contact BH and 300 spine arrows from my 70lb Hoyt Yrykon XL.  I also have a 31" draw.  FYI, I used to shoot 125gr Magnus buzz cuts, and 340 spine wasn't stiff enough.  The 300 spine and 150gr BH are amazing to shoot.  Very accurate, especially with the extra FOC.  Even though I'm pushing 525gr+ total weight, the extra drop is minimal on any of the newer fast IBO bows.  The penetration is AMAZING too!

[et1702]

BTW, definitely worth taking RadSav up on his offer!  It will save you some headaches and potentially expensive gear changes when the setup you buy doesn't work properly.

I also second his commnet that "too many people use too light a BH"  I know everybody wants to shoot as flat as possible.  But, if you shoot often enough, no need to worry.  Plus the benefits of a much more accurate and greater penetration far offset a little more drop in arrow flight   

The extra FOC of a heavier BH actually stabilizes the arrow faster after it is released from the string, which improves accuracy as well as penetration.

I'll do a work up for you if we can get the answers to these questions.

Okay, I'll bite

Goldtip 7595 cut to 29"
Would like wraps
Trying to choose between 4" vanes and Blazers (3 fletch) with lots of offset and helical jig
D loop is about 1/2"
125 grain head

Two questions, am I on the right track or go stiffer spine?
Blazers or 4" vanes (Slick Trick heads)?

Ooops, Mathews Q2 @ 64 lbs 29" draw.

I use the Beman ICS Camo  which I see they don't make anymore!?
300 w/ 100 gr slick trick       remember to be legal  6 gr / pound   so you need a min of 420 gr with a 70 lb bow.... wonder if that's how they have those bows in the wdfw auction?
