Help Me Build A New Arrow

[AM_Hunter]

Hi All,

Looking for your insight on building a new arrow setup for western big game, mostly for Mule deer but may be used for Elk too if fits the bill. I have around a 27" DL, 70lb draw weight. Previous arrows are 350 spine and cut at 27.25" by the bow shop I had my bow first setup at so if that spine or length seems off let me know. Trying to get to the mid 400s on weight.

Victory VForce 245 Elite V1 Arrows 350 spine
8.7g/in at 27.25" is 237.075gr

Victory Vanes
Already mounted no arrow est 5gr

Carbon Tech Brass Insert .245"
I believe these fit, if someone can confirm thatd be great 65gr

Included IP6 Nock
Comes with the arrow 9.6gr

(Option 1) Nockturnal Lighted Nocks
I know everyone hates these but I would like to see where my arrows impact 26.1gr

Sevr Broadhead
Currently have and use Sevr Hybrid Ti 2.0" BHs 100gr

With the standard nocks I am at around 417gr, with the Nockturnals im around 433gr

I'm new to custom arrows so any constructive insight is appreciate. For the past 5 years I have just been using what the bow shop set me up with and having them match it whenever I needed new arrows. Let me know your thoughts! Looking to get everything through Lancaster Archery and have them install all the components as well.

Gold tip Hunter XT 300 cut to 1/2 to 1” in front of your rest with 50 grain insert and 3 Blazer or q2 vanes.

Nothing wrong with your plan! Any arrow with similar gpi in a 340/350 spine will work also. Length could be shorter if desired.

Only suggestion - stick with fixed blades to ensure you get enough penetration with shots other than perfectly broadside.

Your fine with the hybrids, they will blow though any mulie alive and are way more forgiving then almost all fixed heads. You’d be hard pressed to find a better head. But I like the 1.5 way more than the 2.0 from a penetration standpoint
Bump the V Force up to .300 spine,
use the stock 22 grain insert with an added 20 grain weight.
Keep everything else the same and it get you into the low 420 ish grain TAW and closer to 450 with a lighted nock if go that route.

@Trial153 Any reason to bump up to the 300 spine aside from more weight? All the tables and calculators im using show a 350 spine.

As far as the added 20gr to the insert how do I add that weight?
