Chad,

Easton Carbonaeros Carbon Excel 400' s wieght 8.1 grains per inch on thier own which would be about 435 grains at 30" with 160 grain bh and nock and insert. You can fill shaft with sand and get about 175 grain of wieght. These arrows are very kind to your wallet. Even us poor old southern boy' s can sell enough possum' s hides to buy these arra' s !

Chad, with this smaller dia. I really don' t think you need all that grain wieght. Promise not to tell the trade police on me. OK ? (wink - wink ) I shot a deer last year at 28 yards with a bow that was pulling 42 lbs. at my draw and an arrow that wieghed 6.3 grains per pound. This arrow broke a rib going in and coming out and barried in a tree so deep after that that I thought I would never get it out ! I just really feel that that 10 grains a pound is not needed with these smaller dia. arrows of today. Just think about it, which is easier to push into something ? An ice pick or a screwdriver ?

Just my thoughts,

Bill
