I shoot Gold Tip Lazer 2's brass inserts 125gr heads. right helical predator vanes. But it really doesn't matter, I have yet to find something that shoots bad from my bow. :D

First welcome, any arrow will do good as long as it's 350grs. or more, learn about your bow by shooting it, it's the bad boy as far as I'M concerned, customize later have fun

I shoot everything from my Big boys. All weights shoot very good. I find the heavier, the quieter though.
You will still get great shooting from a heavier arrow, Better KE and more stability. But you will give up a little speed.
Worth it as far as I'm concerned. I have a set of 2219's right now weighing in at 530 gr. with 100 gr. head. They shoot excellent and pound the heck out of targets, and Big animals. :wink: But if you want a good average ,for speed and stability and KE combined, I would go with around 400 to 430 gr. Carbons. Just my Opinion mind you.

Heavier arrow: Less noise, more kinetic energy, less serving wear, more trajectory.
Lighter arrow: Faster, more serving wear, flatter flight, harder on bow if too light.

I'm using GT Lazer IIs, 110 gr brass insert, Blazer vanes, 100 gr Slick trick for Vortex. Just upped the head to 125 for the Equinox I had. The latter gave me a 430 gr arrow with 20% FOC. Great flight and, most importantly, terminal performance.

I shoot the same arrow out of my Exocet. After a passthru I normally find the arrow buried in the ground up to the fletchings unless I hit a rock or a root.
