This not to start a pissing match about arrow weight, and I'm not asking what heads you're shooting. Just to get a general feel for what yall are shooting for whitetails. Post your bow specs, arrow specs, insert/point weight, and TAW.
The reason I'm doing doing this is I feel like may have gone too heavy and may be shooting myself in the foot.. My point on is 25 yards, 3 under directly under the nock. 55 ish pound draw at my draw length. Gold tip trad 400 spine, full length, 100gr insert, 200gr point. Around 660 TAW. It tunes near as perfect as I can shoot with my form. I'm not unhappy about the tune, but anything past 25yds it's dropping like a rock. 30yds I'm point on at the top of a deer's back (if that makes sense to yall) I've been shooting my recurve since mid May at least 4-5 times a week. My wheel bow probably feels like a step child right now but I've never been more confident in my shooting abilities under 25 yds. Almost so much so I don't want to shoot my compound anymore.
Backstory: The reason I went so heavy is I wanted enough oomph to penetrate if I screwed up on my end or the deer moves a ton in arrow flight. I wanted the utmost in penetration regardless of the shot placement.
