I’m shooting a Black Hunter longbow #40 and I have a 30” draw length.
So I’m shooting a Black Eagle 400 spine, full length arrow with a 200 grain VPA single bevel broadhead.
Total arrow weight is 574 grains.
These arrows shoot really good with a 200 grain field point.
I’ll be limiting my shooting distance to 15 yards.
I’ll be hunting whitetails.

"These arrows shoot really good with a 200 grain field point."
Nothing else matters if they shoot as well with the broadhead and you can sharpen them.

Don't know if that is 40# @ 28" or at your 30" draw, but regardless it will work for deer with good arrow flight, sharp heads, and good shot placement.

FDP with the center mass comment.
Few things surpass "good arrow flight" in the penetration game.
Good luck. Expect some kill pics in a few months...

#40 @ 28”
I can make the broadheads sharp as a razor blade.
I’ve been sharpening broadheads since around 1990 when I started buying broadheads from Jerry Simmons in Jasper, AL. I killed lots of deer with his Tree Sharks.

Yep. That appears to be a very lethal arrow. Good luck, I think you'll be looking at some pass- thrus this season.

If they will group bare with fletched and BH with FP, I guess you’re where you wanna be. Just run a strip of tape down the middle of your target and see if a pattern develops- you’ll get either 1 group or 2, and you can adjust accordingly.
For my purposes, though, that is a pretty darn hefty arrow. I might go that heavy with my #62-ish (several inches shorter), but personal preference, and a preference is never wrong if it’s working reliably.

I'd guess you'll be finding that arrow on the other side of your deer after it blows through. Good luck this season, have fun and stay safe!

That is a silent heavy arrow that will hit with a lot of momentum from 15 yards and less. If it has recovered from paradox and impacts straight you will blow through a whitetail.

400 is on the stiff side for 40 pounds. However if full length & 200 up front they are flying good you are good to go. >>>----> Ken

Lonster, which model Black Eagle? Full length can be 32", or some are 34". Sounds like a good hunting arrow to me.
