Respectfully, my goal is not to hear about why you only shoot 500ish grain arrows. I want to know what's the lightest arrow people have hunted elk with. I am planning on building new 4mm arrows and without having to buy heavier broadheads and/or heavier inserts that don't already come with the arrows, I will end up somewhere around 403 grains with 3 fletch aae max stealth vanes. Is 403 too light? My current setup is at 425 grains but in all honesty I don't know if 403 is too much of a difference.
My reasoning behind going from 5mm to 4mm is more penetration and less wind resistance. Is it even worth changing my setup in your opinion?
8.3 GPI for 340 spine at 26 inch arrows
8.8 grain vanes
100 grains BH
55 grain insert
6 grain nock
= 403 grains
If it's important, I am shooting 65 lbs with a 27 inch DL
