Ok guys, I need some help deciding on an arrow and I’m running short on time. I’m headed to NM for my elk hunt September 1st so timing has become critical. I have it narrowed down to the following set ups. Bow is a Hoyt Carbon Defiant, 29” draw, and pulling 71lbs. I will most likely end up shooting Magnus Stingers.
Carnivore 250 Spine shooting 262 FPS, 520 grains, and approximately 15% FOC. This is with a 100 grain tip.
Spartan 300 Spine shooting 278 FPS, approximately 450 grains and 10% FOC. This is with a 125 grain tip.
At 20 yards my groups are about 3/4” smaller with the Spartan, but I really wanted a heavier arrow and more FOC. I understand that there is 30 and 75 grain weight that can be added to the Spartan, but I’m not sure how much that will change my accuracy of that set up. I have a 175 grain field point I could test with, but haven’t done that yet. I’m figuring if I go with a 30 grain weight I will lose about 10FPS.
Like I said, I need to make a decision quickly so i can get my arrows built and get dialed in. Also note that I have not tuned to bow to either arrow, but will have that done when I make a decision.
Please help!
