Default RE: Stirring the pot.....again. Penetration

Coug,
I figured that you would probably be in the Axis 340 range......these are 9.53grs. inch, which is actually a fairly heavy carbon shaft.
(The 300 is 10grs +)
Without point of your choice (say 100grs) or vanes/feathers with the Axis 340 at 29" you would be looking at a 301gr shaft. Finished arrow weight would probably be around 420grs +/-. To some that might seem light, but I think that 420-450 gr arrow weight provides a real nice blend of speed and energy. Not too light, not too heavy for whitetails.
What finished arrow weight are you looking for?

If you really want heavier than that in an all carbon , the CE Terminator Hunter Selects 6075' s are a SUPER tough shaft, and come in at around 11grs/inch.
Finished arrow weights will usually be 475grs+. A real nice shaft if you can get past the " Made in Korea" stamp.[:' (]
