I am shooting a Mathews DXT 27" draw at 65#. Easton axis st 500's. They are 25 3/8 inches in length. They weigh 380 grains. Does this seemto be overspined. It was shooting 270 fps through the chrony today. Ideally it should be around 325 grains. (5 drains per pound).Opinions please.
Thanks
You definately are not overspined.... infact you are right on the edge of being underspined.... at least according to the charts. They ain't nothing but guides. Are you getting a weak/stiff reaction at all?
And to be quite honest, I think that with regards to hunting the ideal arrow weight should be somewhere around 6 grains per pound if not 6.5 or 7. 5 gr/# is the bare knuckle minimum to keep from voiding your warranty.
270fps is a good controlable speed for a hunting set up. You can still see your arrow in flight fairly easily, and at 380gr.... I'd say yourarrow weightand speed are sitting really pretty.
The spine however... that all depends on your arrow flight... which I can't see fromhere!
