set up:
Hoyt carbon defiant. 70# 30". (69.86# on the scale)
Had shot: maxima hunter 450 cut to 29", 100gr head and killed lots of critters with it.
Currently shoot: stayed with CE because of the success with hunters and wanted to try the .204 stuff and went with the Red SD 450 cut to 28 5/8 with CE half out insert and CE nocks and 100gr head coming out at 520gr with 4 fletch Q2i fusion XII. FOC right around 10%.
Because the red sd 450 are hard to find I wanted to look into other arrows. During this time I figured I would look also into seeing if I can build a better shooting more reliable arrow than the CE arrows. Instead of trying a bunch of different arrows I figured I would see what you guys would recommend if I am looking for the following:
1- FOC in the 14-16 range for no reason other then to see if it actually improves my groups.
2- 480-520 gr with 4 fletch Q2i fusion xII vanes and 100gr head
3- want a .001 straight arrow and better weight tolerance for the batch. A good strong hunting arrow for north american game.
I purchased AA and have been toying with it, but seems like I either cannot get that 15% FOC or I need a 31" arrow for a 30"DL. I am not oppose to this, but was hoping to keep my total arrow length (tip of arrow after insert installed to throat of the nock) around the 29-30" range.
Hoping we have some long DL guys or people who just love to tinker with arrows and could make a good recommendation for me.
