(b) It is unlawful to hunt big game animals with any arrow measuring less than 20 inches in length or weighing less than 6 grains per pound of draw weight with a minimum arrow weight of 300 grains.

I draw 70. 420 is my minimum. My arrows are over that. 27.5" FMJ with brass inserts and 100 grain broad heads put me at 515 with FOC of 14.5%. Seems that these fly nice, hit hard and bury deep in targets.

What kind of speeds are you getting
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Calculations say 270 fps and 83 ftlbs of KE. Seem to get from here to there pretty well and hit solid when they arrive. Pin gap spacing is pretty close out to 50 with a bit more gap to 60.
