From gold tip hunters to XX78' s
My hunting season is over, it is time to tinker. I will be installing a whisker biscuit in the coming weeks and am thinking of changing shafts. While doing various searches on aluminum shafts, I learned that carbons are not " broken or straight" as I had previously thought. While testing mine I found that almost half of my gold tip hunters were not straight. But, there is no telling how many times they have been shot either. I must admit, I have never shot aluminum shafts. I started with beman hunters and then went to gold tips. With my set up, the chart says I should shoot 2314' s, but would like as much spine as possible. Set up is as follows:
Q2 @ 57lbs-29 1/4" arrows-100 gr steel force bh' s-release. I have had good results in the past with bemans (4 deer) and especially gold tips (5 deer) but want the performance ( quiet, less vibration, penetration) that I expect to get from the XX78 shaft. I could use some help on shaft selection though, from those that have the experience that I don' t have.
