Default Carbon Express® Maxima™ HELP!!!


I'm shooting a 70 lb bowwith a 28" inch draw. Do you think that I should get the 350 Maximas or the 250. I would like to shoot a lighter arrow, but i don't want to hurt my bow or arrows. What should I do. Please help.[]

[align=left]I shoot 60 lbs with the 250's. Think they would be a little light for 70 lbs.

Why do you want to go so light? Its better to be heavier than not heavy enough!!!!Go with the 350's Im at 60# 30" draw and I shoot 350's perform flawlessly.

How long are your arrows? DL is irrelevant when determining spine, it's all about arrow length....

If you're under 27", the 250's will work perfectly fine.

I shot 27" long250's out of my 70# Allegiance. I did tune them and had zero problems and great groups. The Binary's are more forgiving to softer spines than other cam systems. If youare shooting a Single cam go with a stiffer arrow. If youreally want a lighter arrow check out the Carbon Tech Cheetahs. They are a top notch light weight arrow shaft.
Good Luck!!

Absolutely. Better to be slightly overspined than even a little bit under.
