This year i am gonna hunt with the new Easton ST Axis 340 tipped with a Muzzy 100 grain 3 blade . i have hunted with Gold Tip's & A/C/C & Beman Hunter's in the past and had good results with them all on the deer here in NC due the small size of the deer . But i started bowhunting in Ohio and there the deer a lot bigger and i want the extra knock down with a heavier shaft . I am getting really good flight and penatration with the axis arrows . the charts suggested i shoot the 400 shafts but i went the 340 due to it being heavier and i was looking for that extra knock down. Give the carbon's a try I think you will be really happy ya did .
