[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2930331, member: 63925"] So decided to share a conversation I had why I went with heavier arrows. Edited. =================================== I like heavier arrows period. I proved this out shooting FMJ's out of my old Stryker 380. Significant better penetration. Accuracy has never been issue which I believe is associated with stiffer heavier arrow. I also firmly believe heavier arrow increases mechanical broadhead performance. Mechanicals do reduce penetration but the heavier arrow with built in continuation momentum (kinetic energy) will drive it thru animal with more efficiency. Plus heavier arrow does reduce noise. Also shooting fixed blade becomes realistic. The XX75's are 0.003 straightness which ain't bad. I would shoot FMJ's but cannot get Alpha nocks to fit them. BTW the XX75's weigh same as FMJ's. I have blown thru shoulder blades even with 2" Rage crossbow head. End of day, 375fps with almost 500gr arrow is crazy. I hunt heavy cover where big boys hang and 20-30yd shots are max. But accuracy out to 50 was dead bull. So I like the consistency, kinetic energy, better mechanical head deployment, better penetration, helps with noise, fixed blade heads likely better flight, not much reduction in speed. IMO each their own but in archery I have always shot heavier stiffer arrows. [/QUOTE]
