I was most impressed with EDGE FINISH increased penetration by 26%!
That feller is a wealth of info.
How is your build going, have you decided on anything yet?

The archery community is very fortunate all this great information readily available at our finger tips. it all just boils down to how much attention to detail one wants to invest.

The main thing that has helped my arrows is sharpening my broadheads.. i take em out of the package and strop them on leather until the edge is razor sharp and smooth..
I shoot 450 grains out of my regular hunting bow and 550 out of what I call my pig bow.. the 450 kills pigs just as well as the 550

The reality, is that a tough arrow will be reasonably heavy, and will have decent FOC just by nature of using a brass or stainless steel insert. Then get your broadheads sharp and you're good to go. At a lot less exense than tinkering endlessly, I might add.

I've been there done that, and gone back to a reasonably heavy arrow instead (600-650 grains). For a compound, 500 gr arrows will be plenty in North America. Build an arrow that is TOUGH, and flies straight. I've heard bad stuff about grizzlystiks, personally. Mostly that they don't spine/spin consistently, or group well.
