I have just bought the Fred Bear element, I have the tru-glo sight set-up, and the WB arrow rest - blazer vanes I have read posts about them for the WB - now what arrows and broad head/field tip weight do you all recommend. I do not like mechanical broadheads use to shoot them with my hoyt. The WB is set up to medium size arrows.

Thank you in advance....

David,
It depends...What is your draw length, what poundage will you be shooting, how long are you going to cut your arrow, and whether you shoot a release or fingers? It may also depend on the game you are going after.
My setup for turkeys and deer: I shoot a 65# bow, with a release, my arrows are 27.25" 55/75 GoldTip with 100 grain fixed or mechanical broadheads or field tips with Bohning Blazers off a drop away rest. I do shoot my broadheaded arrows through a paper tester to insure proper alignment, but the most important thing is that the completed arrows group together. I also use an arrow spinner to make sure the nock and broadhead/point are in straight alignment.
Let me know if this helps or if you have any questions,

My bow is set up at 28" Draw length - 60lbs draw weight - and I shoot a release. Deer hunt mostly.

David,
I would go with something like my setup. Go with a .400 spine arrow and a 100 grain point with a 27.25 - 28" shaft. I like smaller diameter carbon arrows for durability, wind drift, speed, and penetration, either all carbon or carbon aluminum composites. Things to try if not satified with the groups. Paper tune for good flight. Broadhead paper tears are more important to me that field points. A little high left nock tear (stays inside the vanes) for a right handed shooter is acceptable to me as long as they group. With the biscuit, I would go for a perfect hole. Add weight to the bow and/or add point weight until you get what you want as far as tuning/grouping.
Let me know how it goes. There are lots of tuning options, but do not over think it, shoot and have fun. If you start to get frustrated, stop and get some help. I have seen a lot of shooters get really upset and it turns out to be how they grip their bow or how tired they were and not the equipment. I use a couple of fingers (pinky and next finger or two) tucked under, relaxed wrist, and my knuckles running at a 30 to 45 degree angle to the grip. This eliminates a lot of left/right torque and misses.
