Easton vs. Beman spine stiffness

Dubbya · 02-20-2004, 09:01 AM

just making sure that I have this correct. FOr easton arrows, the lower the number, the less deflection= stiffer spine. So if that is right, how do Beman arrows work? I mean are 400's comparable in both brands? I'm shooting 29.5" draw, razortec at 66-68#. I was thinking 400's or should i go with the 340 axis? I'm confused...again.

Easton owns Beman. Their spine designations are identical. I think I'd go 340 with your setup.

arthur, so that means that the 340 is stiffer in both shafts? thanks.

Yup.

thanks jeffb, do you think that the 340's would be sufficient if I dropped down to say....62 or 60lbs for turkey hunting?

The easton size/ spine is correct unless you are talking about easton A/C/C arrows. the higher the # in these arrows the stiffer the shaft will be. For example the 3-60 will be stiffer spined than the 3-49. For regular carbons, these guys have hit the nail on the head. The 340 shaft would be a good selection.
