Arrow weight for whitetails

RE: Arrow weight for whitetails
I like to keep mine around 360-365 as long as my speed is around 300fps. If you go much heavier than your loosing the flat shooting advantage of light arrows and much lighter and your starting to loose kenetic energy.

My arrows are down to around 382 since I switched from 125 grains to 100 grain heads. I feel that is a good weight for hunting, but I'm not giving up too much on the 3d range.
Why wouldn't you? Rage broadheads.

Do you count mechanicals as "broadheads"?

RE: Arrow weight for whitetails
Mine are 572 for hunting. Part of the reason is because I'm pretty limited in arrows at a 32" draw, and I also like that heavy weight. AT 42 yards this year, I shot my buck, broke a rib on entry and exit, and the arrow was stuck in the ground on the other side. I was shooting my Old GLory at the time, at about 260 fps and Slick Trick broadheads. That extra weight never hurts when hitting an animal.
