Just wondering what the total weight of your whitetail arrow is.
Would also be interested in hearing your effective draw weight and the broadhead you use if you'd like.

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.
