I would go with the larger size. No need in the rest being tight around the shaft.

It depends on which shaft you buy. THey have a size chart for you to choose which one is best for your arrow.

You might measure the outside diameter of the arrow in question. I found .270" shaft to be a little too snug for the small biscuit. One of my buddies shoots the ST Axis (340)arrows and they are just right for the small size biscuit - as is the A/C Super Slim. Main deal is that they still work pretty well even if the arrow is considerably smaller, but don't work worth a hoot if the arrow is dragging. I believe the WB folks advertixe that .030 clearance at the top of the hole is ideal.

Medium is made for most of the carbon arrows. You should probably go with that as the smallest size you use incase you decide to shoot arrows larger than the Easton ST line.

There is nothing wrong with the hole beinglarge but too small will drag on the arrow.

In my opinion(which means nothing)you should go with the next bigger size hole(medium).Too small will make noise on the draw and rob arrow speed and maybe raise heck with your vanes--too big=great shooting with silent draw and no speed loss.jmho.

I have used both the medium and large with various carbon arrows. I even used a die-grinder on the medium to true it up after a bunch of shots through it, and found no affect on arrow flight at all. Just make sure that you don't get one to tight. If in doubt, go bigger.
