You have achieved zen.Well...I’m kind of in the dog house. My wife found out how much money I’ve spent on hunting. She’s really not talking to me...well as much.
I also think the 200 will be fine on a 300 but your bow will tell you what it wants shortly and we shall all listen to what it likes.
How do you test with the field point kits? As in how do you figure out which ones is the ideal weight when you shoot it? Im new to this arrow stuffOh boy...just got my field tips tester kit...field tips that go up to 300 grains. Found that 175 grain tip will give me 19.9% FOC. Oh boy...I haven't sold off my broadheads as of yet. I love my Ironwills, but man they are expensive. I also love the tooth of the arrow...unfortunately ToTA does not have 150 grain, but they do have 175 grain. decisions/decisions.

Also, be sure to nock tune your carbon arrows as some rips will be just because you're not shooting it off the stiffest part of the spine of the carbon shaft. I was pulling my hair out kept getting tears no matter what. Started rotating the nock on my bare shafts a quarter turn each time until I got a bullet hole or close to a bullet hole. At this point, mark your nock and arrow so you know that the nock is oriented correctly to the stiffest part of each bare shaft. Then you can experiment with different point weights with your field point test kit. Oftentimes your bow will like a couple of different tip weights so if you already have 125 grain broadheads and require 225 grains total up front, you can just get 100 grain inserts and keep your COC broadheads you're using. This assumes of course that THE BROADHEADS You're using are COC and have great structural integrity. So full steel COC's or similar types of BH's.How do you test with the field point kits?

Mine were similar by the time I got up to 653 grains my speed was a mere 239fps (top speed) around 237 for averages. I did clock one as slow as 234 fps. Still seems fast for the weight I am shooting thoughHere are the results of my speed test with different weight arrows with my VX3. These were not tuned to the bow just rough testing.
Total Wght Chrono 385 302 fps 440 284 460 282 505 264 593 250 fps
Do u have 1 of those speed measuring machines?Mine were similar by the time I got up to 653 grains my speed was a mere 239fps (top speed) around 237 for averages. I did clock one as slow as 234 fps. Still seems fast for the weight I am shooting though
Southern Sportsman on Arlington Expressway they have an indoor chronograph square with a large target wall behind it. It’s free if you pay for a couple hours of range timeDo u have 1 of those speed measuring machines?
Gotcha....is Nino (sic) still there? I try to avoid the bow shopSouthern Sportsman on Arlington Expressway they have an indoor chronograph square with a large target wall behind it. It’s free if you pay for a couple hours of range time
Not last time I was there. When I go for bow tuning I either go to green acres or down to that bow shop in OcalaGotcha....is Nino (sic) still there? I try to avoid the bow shop
heavier broadhead will be stronger and easier to sharpen.Oh boy...just got my field tips tester kit...field tips that go up to 300 grains. Found that 175 grain tip will give me 19.9% FOC.
