Hmmmmm.....

You can't go wrong with the Mikuta,I've been shooting Ed's bows for years

Sitka Spruce shafts are tough as nails!!!!!

125gr. Zwickey Eskimos are "tried and true",probly downed more game than any other broadhead

Overall.....I'd give your set-up    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

BTW.....What are you carrying them arrows in?????   ;)

Ian, you might think about going up a bit in arrow weight as sitka spruce is a pretty light arrow material. Better penetration and it will make your bow quieter.  Matt

You've chosen a good broadhead.  Don't know how heavy your arrows are, but I wouldn't go below 10gpp.

No its not too light..

I'm shooting a Mikuta 48@27
55-60 spruce arrows..
Probably use grizzly 160 gr heads..

Mikuta is the best shooting bow I've had!
