I like hearing different opinions and I've only been bow hunting for about 5 years (and new to the site) right now I have 2 different arrows that i shoot..I'll post the specs and I'd like some info on what YAll would shoot..why..and how much is 2-5 more KE really doing for you.

Bow:Hoyt carbon spyder zt30
Weight:71-72 lbs
Draw length-30"
Arrow length:29.5"
Carbon express lite 6075: 9.1 gpi ...297fps 83KE
Easton da torch : 7.9 gpi ...316fps 81KE

Keep in mind that there are quite a few of us that pay no attention to Kinetic Energy. We are all about momentum and that's why we shoot very heavy arrows with a high FOC.

Going to be ordering the 70# limbs for my bow after season and shoot about 64-65 lbs. I'd like to keep my 100gr broadheads, what arrow set up would yall suggest. Have a 26 in draw.

Need info

Bow
How much weight on arrow are you thinking

What is the lowest speed you won't go below

Are you wanting standard foc or high foc.

[CSR]

Bear attitude
500-510
230ish
Standard foc

[enewman]

Bear attitude
500-510
230ish
Standard foc

If I looked at the correct bow it's an 310 ibo.

So this would but this bow at best 270 and 266 with a peep and loop. At 70 lbs around 256 at 65 lbs.

This means 425 gn arrow will be about the heaviest arrow you will be able to shoot with this bow to keep,you at 230 fps.

At this you will have 50 . Ke and .436 momentum. This also puts you at 6.5 gn per lb.

There is nothing wrong with this set up. You do need to look at a good cut on contact head in my opinion.

I don't know how fast I'm shooting (never chrono'ed it) but hers my set up
Hoyt crx 35 65lbs 28.5" draw
27" Easton fmj 300's with a 75gr brass insert
150gr broadhead
Weighs right around 590gr with 15% foc and it's shoots plenty fast for me. If I had to guess the speed I'd say around 250-260ish give or take a little. I was caught up in the speed thing the first couple years I started bow hunting, but the last 3-4 years I keep getting heavier and heavier. I'm really liking this arrow set up. I'm goin to stick with it for awhile.

Great article. This is the exact conversation my buddy and I had while on the 3D range at Cinnamon Creek on Monday. Thanks for posting it.
