I just got a new dozen beman ics hunter 340 shafts fletched last night. I am using 3, 4 inch duravanes fletched at 4 degrees. I am going to be shooting 67-68 pounds on a mathews lx, with 100 grain muzzy broadheads. My total arrow weight is 437 grains. using a 30 inch arrow. My question is if my arrow are a little to heavy for all out speed, since they weigh in at about 6.5 grains per pound of draw weight, or if this is a good compromise for speed and quiet shooting?

My hunting rig is much different than my 3d rig, Hunting I like to shoot heavy. If my bow will shoot 300 fps at 5 gr per then I will take that speed and turn it in to KE by building heavy arrows. A heavy arrow like say 450 gr will slow a 300 fps bow down to the 250 fps but the KE will be high, that is what I am looking for knock down power.

That' s a good arrow weight but not one I would choose for all out speed . Since the LX is not out yet it' s hard to say but from all the Mathews I' ve shot the last 4-5 years , you can easily shoot 5.5 -6 grains per pound smoothly and quietly. I shot a 393 grain arrow with my MQ-1(72#) at 295 fps , I shot a 495 grn arrow 257 fps(MQ-1 70#) with it. I noticed no difference in smoothness or quietness . I' ve shot an MQ-32 at 4.5 grn per pound ,which was incredibly smooth. I recently have shot the 393 grn arrows with my Ultra 2 at 296 fps and a 350 grn arrow 308 with no noticiable noise difference and only a slight diiference in vibration.
Do I think you should change arrows .....no !! But if your not happy with the speed when you get your LX ,I think you could easily shoot a 375-400 grain arrow and pick up speed without any noticable difference in shot noise or smoothness. Just my $ .02 .
Good Luck ..........I can' t wait for my LX to get here !!

I think your arrow weight and size is fine. It is relatively close to what I normally shoot for a setup...draw length, draw weight, arrow size, etc.... I think it is an excellent combination if you are looking for a relatively quiet, accurate bow with a reasonably flat trajectory.
