Hi Neil. what is the average weight for fletchings and inserts. I was surprised your set up was 430. Being the blue streak is a lower weight arrow. Reason I ask I was trying to find the right combo into that 430-450 range in a cx.

[jval]

CX mayhem hunter 350's
420 grains (approx)
2" blazers
29 inches
30.5 inch draw

Blazer vanes are 6 grains each so x3 = 18 grains, nock around 8-12 grains and inserts about 12 grains.

[Mike_W]

My current set up is.

Gold Tip Pro Hunter 7595 (340 spine and 8.9 gpi) cut to cut 27.25"
Gold Tip uni bushing (12.6 grains)
Bohning F nock (6 grains)
Gold Tip Accu-Lite insert (11.4 grains)
Bohning blazer vanes helical fletched (X3 = 18 grains)
Grim Reaper Razortip 1-3/8" (100 grains)

Total arrow weight 390.5 grains
70lb Athens Solace
29.5" draw

What components are you using Neil? Any added weight?
If you use a collar I get your arrow to be 409 grains.

Mike you are closer than I was when stated 430 ish Gr arrow since I took wrap off @9gr

CX Blue streak 8.3 @28+" GPI = 234.89 GR
Collar-= 4 Gr = 238.89 GR
Savage Vanes@ 9 Gr per = 27gr = 265.89 GR
Easton Super Nock@13GR = 278.89 GR
Inserts@14gr = 292.89 GR
Broadhead @125gr = 417.89 GR

The Easton Super Nock is a little heavier but better fit than the CX nock and I like the big index indicator to nock arrow by touch...

I have been playing with weighted inserts and adaptors ..still ahvent found the one I like yet...wish they would just make standard inserts in 10 gr increments...

@66 lbs I would like about another 20 -30 gr front end ... broadheads should be 75-85-100-125 and 150 Grs

I use Goldtip 75/95 with pin nock bushings or Nockturnals for hunting. 70lbs bow at 28 inch draw with 100gr Grim Reaper Razortip, arrow weighs in at 385gr and has performed flawlessly so far.

What kind of speed with that set up? Which bow are you using?

[Lefty-Canuck]

I think the speed is around 290-295fps if I remember correct or it might be a little bit faster, I am using a Bowtech Invasion.

[normanrd]

I shoot:

Gold tip 75/95
85 grain grim reaper razor tip
4 blazer mini's
Boning Pin nock with gt adapter
43 grains weight up front (to get momentum up)

Carbon Overdrive @ 28"

403 grains at 305 fps. deadly. Period.

My back up bow is an invasion and shoots the same arrow at 299 fps. Deadly too.
