Is your goal a certain arrow weight or speed?

Got to be above 480gr to be legal here in WA. Beyond that I am looking for nothing else. Just be legal.
You could always take some weight out of the insert if you wanted a lighter/faster arrow. I'm using the 75 grain brass HiT insert. You could knock it down to 50 or use the 56gr stainless steel outsert from Blackeagle.

I'm thinking that Jason's setup is going to be a little closer to what you may need for spine. Depending on how long your arrows will be. I'm shooting the rampage 300 on a 28.5 and 75 grains inserts up front and 125 head to make legal weight. I'm at 486. My 80 lb katera xl loves this arrow, lots of FOC. I have been very happy with the Black Eagles.I am going to be at 30" on arrow length

I'd get those kinetic kaos arrows. They look sweet. And only $194 a dozen.
I can buy an extra half dozen ;)

I really do think gold tip makes the best hunting arrow. Maybe i need to try other arrows but when my goldtips are killing everything i shoot at I'll stick with them.I have tried a bunch of different arrows. The strongest most consistent arrow I have shot has been gold tips. I have thought about trying the Blackeagle arrows but just can't let go of my gold tips. I'm shooting a 300 spine xt hunter pro. Think it's around 430 grains but you would need heavier to be legal. I did shoot those out of my 80 pound vector 35 but I lived in Oregon. Now I'm shooting 62 pounds.

Just curious, why change from this setup? You should be getting great speed and KE with that draw length from a destroyer?

Think im gonna eat the 22 grains and switch to the outsert. Seems it would make the arrow tougher when I miss.

Which is exactly my issue with GT. Tough as nails but flipping expensive :bash:

Oh yeah, I gawked at that price the first time I saw that on their site. The rest of their arrows are pretty reasonable though. VAP Victory arrows are about the same price as the Kaos. I just don't want to deal with all the little inserts and pieces.
