I am currently shooting Easton 2016 Lite XX78 Super Slam, cut at 28" with a 125 gr tip. The bow I am shooting is a Martin Dream Catcher 50# @ 28" AMO 60".
I really don't have a pro shop that is savy in traditional equipment and thought I would get your opinion on what I should go with? I am leaning towards Gold tip but I don't know what gpi to go with.
If you guys would, please help me get going in the right direction, this is the first time I have tried to switch arrows and need a little reassurance. If you guys think I should go with a different carbon, please let me know as well.
Thanks for your time,
Trent
About the closest thing you can get is a .5" spine and add weight to the front. A 2016 has .531 of spine. There are a few .5" spined arrows out there. You could get gold tip 3355' trads, get the internal brass weight system, and just add 50gr to the front and that should get you the cooresponding dynamic spine to match your 2016's with 125gr tip.
