Build my Mule Deer Arrow

[TimberMuleys]

Hey all, I recently upgraded my bow setup to a Matthews Lift X 33. I shoot a 30” draw with 75lb draw weight. I was hoping to go with a lighter arrow for the “range forgiveness” that James Yates talks about. I like the idea of getting Easton arrows since they are American made and possibly pairing it with the Sevr 1.5” Hyrbids. Does anyone have any recommendations? I would like to try to stay in the lower 400s for grains and hopefully around 300-320fps? Im a newer archery hunter and don’t know a ton. Just curious what some other hunters have liked/not liked to see if I’m on the right track or need to research some more.

I haven’t looked at eastons newest line-up. Go to their website and find the GPI for each line. If you know your arrow length carbon to carbon, you can do the math yourself. Add in nock, vanes, insert and broadhead. Last I recall the sonic 6.0 would fit around your weight you want to land at.
There are more knowledgeable people here on the specifics, but you can do the legwork yourself too, and learn along the way.

Easton sonic or the lighter 5 mm shaft. Me if I was only hunting mule deer I would go with a Victory Vap non tko in 300 cut as short as you can get it with lighter aluminum outsert or Easton deep six and a 100 grain sevr or 125 whatever gets you a shade over 400 grains or go 250 with a heavier outsert or ethics heavier deep six and collar. That would land mid 400’s. Personally if it was mullies only I would build the arrow for speed and wind bucking capabilities. I’ve had good flight from black eagle 4 mm instincts as well and new focus inserts seem to be solid on paper have not played with em yet. I don’t put much thought in Easton claiming American made its marketing when they do make several things overseas including their Hoyt carbon bows, most if not all there recurves and several arrows. I’ve got similar specs and have had very good flight from 300s cut to 29 inches at 30.5 and 70 lbs on my lift. I run a lot heavier up front but I build arrows for elk, for deer only I would drop arrow weight.
