Help selecting arrow/broadheads
Ok this will be my first year of bowhunting(deer and maybe coyote)...I just got a used bow that is a Champion brand but I can't remember the name of the bow its a 2004 model single cam and I will have a pull weight of 65lbs..my draw length is 29''...ok now I wanting to get a dozen carbon fiber arrows from cabelas....I would like some help determining waht length I will need, how much should the arrow with nocks, vanes, and the threads weigh...I am thinking I should get cut on contact broadheads that are 100 grain...if you guys could help me out that woudl be great..thanks in advance

RE: Help selecting arrow/broadheads
I just did some calculating on the weight of my arrows WITHOUT broadheads and I have two choices....290.65 grains or 329 grains...now this is also without the weight of the vanes and guessing that my arrows will be 29.5'' long..and again I am thinking about putting 100 grain cut on contact tip on them also...

RE: Help selecting arrow/broadheads
Go to a local pro shop instead of Cabelas. They can point you in the right direction. The pro shop I go to builds the arrows after you pick the shaft out. Then you get to pick what color fletchings and nocks. Takes a bit of time for the glue to set up that holds the fletching though. 100 grain broad head is a good choice.
