I went to Grizzly stiks website and took there 650 challenge. I was skeptical but unbelievable how much more accurate and quieter my Carbon Spyder 34 is now. Yes I lost some speed but it hits like a Mack truck. I was shooting a 440 grain Goldtip Kinectic before.
Now when I shoot a Kinectic the bow sounds a lot louder and with the Grizxly stik. My finished Grizzly stik weight is 655 grains. Very very forgiving. I haven't shot a arrow that cuts through the wind like these do. No holding right or left. Just hold on the spot and execute the shot as always.

Hoyt reflex Super slam
Hoyt Carbon element
Hoyt Carbon spider
Hoyt nitrum
I'm shooting a Spyder 30 and looking at replacing it with Carbon Element w/ G3's. Any opinion? Would this be a good move? I feel the Spyder 30 is a little jumpy with such a narrow valley & has a vibration after the shot.

72 # DWOriginally posted by docmay View PostArrows too light for quiet. I shoot a carbon spyder 34 with either 450 grain arrows or 500 grain arrows. It's quiet and I have yet to see something jump. My heavy arrows are going 280 fps+ and blew through a grizzly bear. My 450 grain arrows shot through muskox and moose last year. My sweet spot for arrows is 425-450 grains. If bigger animal then I go up.

But still wasn't as quiet as I'd like.

I didn't care for that much, so I took them off.

I may need to try one of these other dampners myself now that I think about it...
