I'm shooting right at 450 with 100 grain head. 66lbs.

What do you have and what works best for you?

Just doing some fine tuning and tweaking on my arrows and thought I would ask

Okay guys never figured it up. I found a chart that gives the shaft size and weight in gpi(grains per inch?)I shoot Easton ST Epic Arrows 400 with 8.6 gpi. I use the shrink wrap Blazers. I also have the Nocturnal lighted nocks, 20 gr. I shoot 100 gr. QAD Exodus broadheads. Does that mean a 28.5 inch arrow times 8.6 gpi plus 20 grain lighted nock plus 100 gr broadhead equal my arrow weight or is there something else to add in to the weight.
BTW, I figure my weight if no other additions at 365 grains out of Z7 and 62# pull. Good or bad? I was shooting Eaton ST Epic 340, is that better? HELP!!



There are two seasons: hunting season and getting ready for hunting season.

Add weight of wraps/fletchings, inserts....or go to any bow shop and put your arrow on the scale.

I paid 20 or so for mine

EDIT...thats the 250gr model..look around on there and you will find a bigger one. Mine 750 I think.

Your arrow is prolly a little longer than 28.5" you also add your insert.

Mine weigh 430gr, I thought that was on the heavy side, guess not compared to most of yalls.
