straight fletch with field points is ok ... at least try "diagonal" of 1 degree with broadheads if you like straight fletch.

400 grain arrow is pretty light for a 65lb draw weight bow. you're right at the suggested min AMO saftey margin. couple that with straight fletch, low brace height, nock set heigth and any other factors such as moving the bow to the right on release to "watch" the arrow in flight and you could have a very "touchy" shot.

keep in mind that as the quest for "speed" goes up, so does the "sensitivity" ... sometimes a compromise is necessary to achieve the necessary accuracy for a successful lethal shot at live game.
