8 inches POI shift at 20 yards seems like a lot more than an extra 150grains of weight going on...

Ok I did some more shooting .. 29 inch vertix 75 lbs . blazer veins are right at 360 grains on the scale other arrows are 475 on the scale . Bow is sighted in with the heavier arrow. Shot at 20 yards .. the interesting thing is at 40 yards I had to use my 30 yard mark for the lighter arrows . That would give me more travel on my sight.. I have a problem with my anchor point being too high causing less travel for my sight. Tried to change it and I'm all over the place so I went back to the original anchor..https://i.imgur.com/8odBB0t.jpg not sure why it didnt post the picture and it looks like I was too close couldn't seeon my phone because it is so bright outside.. but its 5.5 or so inches difference

Yessir, I didn't like the "rainbow" trajectory either. I just shoot 50# bow, but it shoots 286fps, which translates to 67ke, which is more than enough for any big game animal in NA. Now would I shoot a Moose with my setup? Nope. Elk? Yep!

I have to wonder how many dudes in TX hunting from blinds over feeders are actually shooting at ranges that a flatter trajectory would actually matter...
I can answer that question for you...
Absolutely zero.
Sound makes deer jump the string. The heavier arrow reduces sound, so less likely to jump the string. Inside 30 yards, I can’t fathom speed making a noticeable difference, but sound I could.
