I had poor penetration on a buck quartering away last year (my first year as a bowhunter) and I had planned to build new high FOC arrows (or get muddyfuzzy to do it) and turn up the weight on my bow (55 lbs last year).
I had a bit of a curve ball thrown at me with a slightly torn rotator cuff in my target shoulder (right shoulder I shoot lefty). I don't really feel it when I shoot and I am not planning on surgery until after the season at least. But, I plan to keep pulling 55 lbs to make sure I don't cause further injury.
Stats:
Mission Ballistic 330 IBO
27.5" Draw Length
28.5" Arrow Length (I think)
55 lbs draw weight
I want to build a higher FOC than my current Easton Axis 400's with 3 blazers and 100 grain heads, but I want to keep total weight down so my arrows aren't getting completely lobbed out there. I won't take a shot over 25 yards with this in mind.
Caveat: I am a total newb and don't know ****.
A quick look at Easton's site comes up with the Hexx 330 as a lighter arrow. So, what do you think about this?
Easton Hexx 330 at 7.9 gpi
Easton Brass Hit 50 gram insert
100 grain broadheads (I already have plenty of these).
3 Blazer vanes
FOC and Mass Calculator says - 404 grains 15.8% FOC
Will this work?
What am I doing wrong?
Is there a better option?
Will this be under spined?
Thanks for your time,
EG
