One of my bows is a Hoyt Spyder 34 set @ 62lbs and I shoot a 502gr FMJ 340 (29in @ 11.3gpi, 50gr insert, 125gr broadheads) super high FOC and they hit like Thor's hammer. Penetration is no problem with this setup.

Penetration is no problem with this setup. Have you chrono tested that setup? What type of arrow flight are getting and do you notice anything odd about how it drops versus distance? I'm considering a setup pretty much just like that except 65-70 draw weight. Also - did the bow noticeably quiet down after changing to that heavy arrow weight?

I don't have a chrono so i'm not sure on exact fps but I had to drop 3 tapes lower on the Tommy Hogg from my previous setup (420gr) to accommodate the heavier arrow. Real world difference of about 6in more drop @ 50yds. Really clean arrow flight and semed to tune easier with the heavier arrow and is absolutely as quiet as a mouse fart.

Very cool - thanks for the info No prob, happy to share it. If you ever wanna try a heavier arrow without spending money or making permanent changes to any arrows just cut you a length of weed eater line and drop in your arrow. You can add 100gr easily with a full arrow length piece. Fun, cheap way to fine tune your arrow weights before investing in full blown arrow build.

Killed elk so far so, I'm ready to see what happens. 450 grains, GT Kinetic with 125 gr Magnus Buzzcuts Correction: My total arrow weight is 475 grains!
