45-50lbs, what arrow setup this season??

[plentycoupe]

If you are shooting in that pound range at your draw length what is the arrow setup you will be using this year?

What species will you be hunting?
Make and model,
Overall length
Overall grain weight
Feather/vane combination,
Broadhead of choice?

And is it what you’ve always been using or did you switch it up this year? If you did what did you change from and why?!

Thanks all
Jason

I'm hunting with a 47# @ 27 inch Martin Hunter recurve this year for elk and muleys and our season in Utah opens this Saturday. My arrows are .500 spine Gold Tip Traditionals with 5 inch shield cut feathers with a helical twist. They are cut at 28.75 inches long and the acculite insert has a 50 grain gold tip fact weight screwed into it. Broadhead is a 125 grain 2 blade Magnus and I will have both regular stingers and buzzcuts in my quiver. Total arrow weight is 455 grains and they fly through the chronograph at 169 fps. I'm still kind of a newby and trying to get my first trad kill under my belt. I have a ton of confidence this year though. My accuracy and arrow flight has improved tremendously this year. My bare shafts are flying great and my broadheads are stupid sharp. Hopefully I can find a critter to be a willing test subject this weekend.
