Alright, here is what I am wanting to know.....
I am looking to try a different set-up for my arrows. Right now I am shooting Redhead Carbon Maxx 2000 arrows with Blazer vanes. They weigh 7.3gr/in(straightness- +/- .0025"). My arrows measure 26" from insert to the split in the nock. I have been measured at a 26" DL, but am using a WB set back some(like an overdraw). I am shooting 100gr heads. I will be hunting deer, hogs, turkeys and whatever else is legal. What would ya'll suggest for me to get the most out of my set-up? Since I dont have a chrono, I was wondering about an estimated speed also.
My set-up-
2004 Bowtech VFT Extreme @ 63lb Draw weight 25.5" draw length(gotta love the small adjustments on a Bowtech) 100gr heads
If you need any other info, let me know.

If the IBO of 333fps is accurate, OnTarget has you at 282fps. I would guess between 260-270fps real world.

I dont think that you could get anymore out of your arrows to be honest. You could probably go to an 85gr head but I dont think that a 15gr. diffrence would afford you any quality returns. If you just want to go to a diffrent arrow that meets the same spec. you might look at the PSE which are cheaper than the CX shafts and have the same specs as those that you are shooting now....more or less.

How are you grouping Do you need to change? Right now you are at 5.2 grns per # of draw weight (light in my estimation). You could shorten back to the berger button and go with 85 grn tips which would be about right for that size/length of shaft - but then you would be down to 5.1/#.

I was thinking of going heavier for some more KE. I think I am in the 50-55lb range.

If you looking heavier I would suggest the CX terminator light selects.....I believe they are in the 8.2 range

I was thinking the same BT 4560's - in the meantime I was looking for spine info on your arrows and wasn't coming up with much
