Unless you're having trouble with flight its a solution in search of a problem. The modern compounds flat out cook, I don't think you're going to see any real world benefits from a heavy arrow over a faster stock arrow. I've never shot hogs, maybe I'm wrong but i've shot a pile of deer with a bow including deer though the shoulders, shooting a Matthews at max draw and 82 pounds may also affect how I see things.



Lol why are you shooting "through the shoulders" ? There's nothing between them .

If you get a quartering away shot you can shoot behind one and through the other, no tracking required. I've also taken some pretty questionable shots on already hit deer such as quartering twords shooting though the chest and out the opposite side.

I've only ever wounded one animal archery hunting, shot an antelope and pushed it because I had to get home for a funeral, I should of waited an hour, instead I chased it and ended up losing it.

Stuff dies just the same. It’s fun to play with and learn from. But in my opinion unless your shooting a low poundage and need the added weight. That same head will work just fine with 400 to 450 grain arrow. I also shoot a traditional bow it’s about 45 pounds at my draw length. My arrows are close to what you built. In the 550 to 600 range with a 2 blade, cut on contact. I don’t shoot past 25 yards and it’s about 180fps. I need al the weight I can. When you only shoot 20 yards, range isn’t a problem.

25.5" arrow , nock top to the end of the insert, 60lbs compound , 26" draw

Not sure your spine but 350, even 300 may be weak for that much weight up front.

350 spine but only being 25.5" long it's stiffer then a normal sized arrow

lmao i was gonna say dang wolfie small. my wife is small and has a 26in draw. i however have a 31.5in draw and shoot at 70# with a 497gr arrow with 175grains up front on a rip tko 250 spine cut at 29inches. can put them in a 3in circle at 50. i dont shoot deer that far think longest shot ever was 42 but it was a perfect setup and buck had no idea i was there. he heard the bow and looked then jumped as arrow went through. i shot muzzy trocars until this year new arrow build cheaply as i can are gonna be victory vforce hunter 300 spine with 75 grains up front and 100gr, thunderheads. old stock thunderheads still made in America not the new Taiwanese made ones.

end of the day have fun use what you can and you will kill stuff with good shot placement. i got into the heavy arrow thing for awhile and realized my bow really likes a 500gr arrow. so i will do what i can to get close to there and just practice with them and see what happens. but shot placement is king.

Okie dokie trunk is still in the shop got some more of the honey do list don't so was able to play around a little more. Went and redid my knocking point like swamp wolf suggested, had to move my peep down too...more and more I'm reminded why I do my own work ... Anyhow didn't take too long
[Linked Image]

So after a lil tweaking of my sights and rest got what I think is a pretty decent deal at 15yd . Bare shafts and fletched all go basically the same area
Before
[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]

And after a little tweaking and better follow though on my part
[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]

So with every hitting about the same went ahead and fletched them all. ..... Yes with feathers.... I like feathers , bite me laugh
And fletched
[Linked Image]
[Linked Image]

Actually shot some tighter groups but man my arms where getting tired lol

And finally the one thing eveyone seems to hate doing for some reason.... Seeing what they do with a broad head before shooting a living animal. Idk I've always been told if it shoots good with the same weight field point you'll be good but....in my head that's like saying if you sight in 55gr FMJ you'll have the same zero for 55gr HPBT.... I mean it can definitely happen but ..... A lot do the times ..yeaaahhhhh no. But anyhow only have three of these 150gr stinger buzz cuts so only (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) three lol. And btw my arrows are only 25.5" long so.... Are these still arrows or more like darts at this point ?
grin

I'm not any kinda expert but I think that's pretty decent lol. Think I'll call this load good ! Still need to walk my target out to 25 to get my pins set better but it's a start. Hopefully I shouldn't be shooting past 15-20yd anyhow
[Linked Image]

Now ... hopefully the truck is out the shop this evening and they've been keeping the feeder filled like there supposed to

Good thing about those magnus, just send mike an email and he will warranty them no questions asked. Yea that short of an arrow should be good with that weight up front. I shoot a little longer and run 225 up front. Can really tell the difference from running 125 in the years past at 40 yards. More drop but dang does it hit hard.
