Total weight 450 is good. My bare arrows are lighter so I shoot 125 broad heads for total of 425

What poundage bow are you shooting from & What distance are you usually shooting at?
Don't think you will go wrong on Big Johns arrows, I've never heard anything but praise about them.

Somewhat of a modified Vixon II with a 14" Axiom Aluminum rail,,cast riser,,somewhere you could say between a Vixen 11 and Phoenix,,Flemish string,,probably 150 #r,,,just wondering at the total weight of 365gr if there is any benefit to 125grain BH for better grouping beyond 40 yrds,,,I have written off 150 grain,,,so it's down to 100 or 125

Its not so much the BH weight as it is the choice of BH & the arrow wid its fletchin. You make an 85gr 100gr 125gr 150gr 170gr BH work wid the right fletchin

If'en all yer goin to do is shoot deer under 200 lbs out to 30 yds then a 350gr arrow total weight will work fer you. You run into over 200lb deer & throw in some big wild hogs or an Elk then more weight in arrow would work fer you much better
