Easton sonic match grade 340 cut to 27.25" with 50 gr brass inserts, 3xmax stealth vanes and 125 gr sevr 1.75".

Estimated weight is ~420 grains and ~15% FOC.

I figure a short arrow with 175 grains up front should be plenty for deer.
Here's a few thoughts -
At 340 spine you will have 31.5" arrow shaft. Meaning you can cut off 4.25" off of carbon. Meaning that if you cut from both ends you can take a .003" arrow and make a .003" into a .002" straightness. Even better if you spin each shaft and cut from the least straight end. In my opinion (for what that's worth as a lowly arrow builder) .001" arrows are primarily for longer draw shafts.

I'll mention again that there is no strength benefit to a brass insert over an aluminum. I'd skip buying the brass and go with a top it with a collar or Ethics steel insert.
