easton supernocks (hate the goldtip ones..they have fixed the prob tho)
6\" white wraps.

with either my slicktrick mag 100, or my montec 100\'s..i\'m looking at a 420gr arrow.

Ok now it is time to learn something. What is trimmer line? Are you inserting weed trimmer line inside the arrow to add weight? If so what size and how does this effect arrow flight?

 

[cnelk]

Yes. Just a length of weed trimmer line down the shaft.
For added weight only. Does not affect spine

One piece can \'rattle\' a bit but not too noticeable.
I may try 2 pieces to get to about 420gr

Its kinda cool to track your elk after the shot and find trimmer line.

 

[Deertick]

You know, I tried 400s and they had a bit of a weak spine reaction for me on broadhead tuning ... I\'m only at 63 pounds, so I know that isn\'t \"supposed\" to happen ... but I like how the 340s fly better.

Rats, I recently grabbed a couple dozen of the 400 FMJ\'s off camofire and have yet to have time to shoot any yet. I\'ll try a couple 340\'s just to compare. Hope I don\'t find that, but I\'m a little Leary now, I\'m shooting 68# and even thinking about bumping up a little this year.
