G'day guys,

I've been reading for a while nowthe advice given on the pages of thisforum and have really enjoyed myself, so a bigthankyou to all members.
On theadvice of a lot of the members of this forumI've decided to give the EastonA/C/C's a go for my newshaft, buthave to get them mail order so my question isto this-
TheEaston shaft selector comes up with 3-49 for my 70lb X-force with a 27" shaft and my 100grhead. Naturally, beingnear the end of the 3-49's capabilities, I would have gone for the 3-60.Which makes me wonder if I shouldopt for the 3-71?Can anyone thatshoots a similarpoundage and shaft length and hasexperimented with these shafts put my3-71 thoughtsat ease before I order my new 3-60A/C/C's?

Thanks.

I shoot anywhere from 68-71 lbs and I've used 3-49's for more years than I can recall with flawless experiences.

Thanks rob, what length?

Wouldn't the length be determinate upon the draw length?

I shoot the 3-60's 28.5 with 65 lbs draw.

Sorry I mean "what length Rob?"

Sorry I should have said. My arrows are 27" long.

I shot ACCs last year (3-49s). I got a bunch on the cheap (missing two arrows out of the box, so they sold them to me for $2 a shaft.... heck of a deal).

I shoot a HCA Iron Mace. Just like your X-Force... it has a pretty aggressive cam. My finished arrow length was/is 29.5". I was shooting a 100gr tip, at 62#s... and I was getting a weak arrow reaction. Granted, my arrows are a fair piece longer than Robs... but my bow is tuned extremely well.... I did a little horse trading and got a pair of 3-60s since then, and I found that they shot much better than the 3-49s did. I shot a few without fletchings (which is pretty revealing) and found that they flew much like my fletched arrows do... the 3-49s had a fairly bad kick.

As much as I like them though, they are expensive.... same spot I picked up my 3-49s real cheap had another good deal going not long ago... so now I'm shooting a 340 St Axis with a 125gr head... and my arrows are flying as good as any ever have off that bow.

SwampCollie, I'd imagine those extra 2.5 inches changed the spine. How does the chart add up for the bow poundage arrow length? I can't seem to find a friggin chart that mentions it anymore.[&:]

I shot 27.5" a/c/c's in the 3-71 variety, last year with NO issues. The extra spine is NOT an issue for short range shots....and I liked the extra weight.

If I were going to shoot the same #-age, this fall....I'd have ordered the 3-71's. I'm lowering my #-age and have ordered the 3-49's.

At 70#'s...."I" would shoot 3-71's. Good luck.
