what size aluminum arrows will work best from this animal? I'm looking at 28" draw 125 gr head, possibly 160 gr head...not too sure yet. I have a few 2114 arrows here, and I believe 2016. Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!

1916 or 1816 depending on point weight

1916

1916 with the 160 points 1816 with the 125 heads. TB

Agree with TB above. Even a smaller diameter 1816 will carry about 430 grains +/- at 29" with 125 tips, approaching 11 grains per pound. If you're going to intermingle the 160 grain tips then you will need the 1916 at 29". You didn't say how long you wanted the arrows to be and that can change things pretty quickly.

B -

1816s and don't go over 125 gr, unless you like rainbows.

Viper out.

I like rainbows, just not trajectories that look like them!

I'm shooting 28" 1716's with 100gr. points out of my 40#er. thanks
