[QUOTE="Scot E, post: 500314, member: 10832"] Your elk setup is similar to mine. I think I am 425 grains at about 275 fps with FMJ 340's. A few years ago I bought some CE Maximas in 250 and 350 to gain some speed over the FMJ's for an upcoming mule deer hunt. What I found was that past about 55 yards both of the CE's arrows shot with more drop than my heavy arrows did. My pins were tighter from 20-50 but were wider at 50+ yards. 50+ yards is where I really wanted the benefit so I switched back to my elk setup and haven't looked back. I shoot Montana's 7 pin and can get to 85 yards with my 7th pin. There is a lot of talk on the chat forums about the really light weight arrows shooting very flat. I guess to be fair I haven't tried the really light weight arrows, Maximas are more middle of the road, but I have a hard time believing they will be flatter past 50 yards or so and that is where I would want to see the benefit.
