Arrow Input

*I'm sure this gets discussed alot but just wanted to run some numbers by ya'll to confirm my thoughts...

This will be my first deer season shooting a bow. Current setup is:

-Elite Impulse 34
-55# draw
-28" DL
-29.5" Black Eagle Outlaw Arrows 350 (blazer vanes x3, no wrap)

Looking to shoot either 100 gr QAD Exodus or the B3 Destrukt broadheads but I think I need to add some insert weight upfront for a higher FOC

Or am I better off going to 400 spine arrows given my draw weight?

Screw that exodus on there, make sure it hits where you are aiming and go hunt.

There's no need to change anything about your current arrows if they shoot well.

Replicating your current setup with a 400 spine Outlaw would gain you about 0.5% of FOC. The importance of FOC is often overstated, and a 0.5% more or less certainly isn't going to matter. If you really did want to bump up FOC, trim 2" off your existing arrows and add a 20 gr weight screw behind the insert...that would add about 2% FOC and keep your TAW about the same.

^^^what he said.

Did you already buy your broadheads? If not, why change inserts when you can just shoot 125-grain broadhead instead of 100?

Yeah, I'm sure I'm over thinking it. Been getting good groups as is...

No I haven't yet, but seems like the 125 Exodus is out of stock everywhere and the B3 head only comes in 100
