Good question . . .I guess we could just take a poll and see what people are shooting.

Just from what I've seen posted, I'm guessing I'm below average. :lol:

Mine are 408 grs.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

I'm shooting 415 g with the vixen. With the vortex I'm shooting 450 g. In both cases I'm using GT lasers with brass inserts. My arrows are made by Big John from this forum.

I'm using the Firebolts with 100gr, so 367, if the charts are correct. Plenty of fpe with the Eq.
