BRONZ

I shoot 46 lbs and was curious to know what weight y'all have up front--broadhead and insert included?  I'm currently shooting 125 gr with 100 gr brass insert, but am considering trying something different.

I shoot 145-175 grains. With that weight bow and recommended arrow spine at my 28" draw it's puts me right in the ballpark of 9-10 gpp. I feel it's a good balance and also gives a bit more weight forward.

You need to know what the centershot is too if you just want to copy what works for others.

125gr on a 29.5" 1916; no problem.....

I just got a new 45# Black Widow PTF a few days and it's spitting out MFX 400's with 240grs up front really good. That's the weight with the Simmons Tree Sharks.

175 with my 1535s!
I do all I can to avoid the brass insert and just use the heavier heads. 3555 tend to be too stiff so I err toward 600 spine. Seem to be the ticket

I like whatever makes my arrows fly best. I shoot 51-54#s and more and 175-225 up front. If I went to 45#s with the same arrows I would need 275-350 up front! Shawn

I just got a RER Vortex, 43# @ 28"-64_ long, I draw 29". I just shot some 2117 Alum. 30" long a 200gr field point up front and they flew like darts. They also weigh 650gr and really rock the 3-D target!
