Sorry I forgot something,you can't go under 360gr for an arrow with your set up(5 gr per pound of draw minimum).The maxima with a 100gr tip will put you close to 378gr.The 300's will put you right at 373.Your axis weighs right at 415gr.w/ a 100gr tip.

Arrow speed will increase 1 fps per 3-6gr loss depending on your bow.So you will only gain 7-14fps.So is it worth $100 for 7-14fps?It's up to you.Hope I helped.

04 Patriot Dually
Set at 72lbs 29" draw
Easton Axis 340's
Spitfire Mechanicals
Nap Drop Away
291fps / 80lbs of KE
With that kind of setup and KE I sure wouldn't be looking for a lighter arrow. Certainly not for hunting anyway.A bud of mine ( Nubo ) shoots the axis shafts out of his Dually also and I tell ya those arrows are under rated. I will likely switch over to them next year myself.

If I were you I would seriously reconsider what you are thinking. You don't want to go with the lightest weight arrow you can find. You want a stout arrow that will blast your broadhead through tough muscle, and in bad circumstances, bone.
