just thought of something from another post....

what are the heaviest carbon shafts?? id like pure carbon....spine would be for 60-70lbs(forget exact spine..just looking to see whats out there...i can play with spine after i find a shaft) also dont particularly care for camoed carbon shafts...usually noisey and hides cracks and spinters...and i shoot too much i wear labels off my shafts let alone camo...

i know my CX terminator XP selects are 10.6gpi...bout one of the heavier ones out there...id like something a few more GPI heavier...but dont think theres much out there...?? might have to go to a alumanum?? what kinda GPI can i find on a thick walled alumanum??? 13-15GPI or so sounds nice off the top of my head...bare shaft...but heavier might work....so post what you know of...

Is it Carbon Tech that makes the Hippo's?

Try muzzy Gator getters. They go around 2300 grains. It should shoot through a deer or bunny.

lmfao

13-15 GPI I don't think is going to happen with straight carbon. My MFJ 300's only go 12 GPI. Carbon Express Aramids, with the Kevlar, only go 9.8 GPI for the heaviest ones. I think you are left with adding weight tubes if you want something that heavy.

I shoot some Carbon Express, I think they are HunterSelects and they weigh 11.5 grains per inch in the 45/60 size.

Jiim

hmmm i could go the weight tube route need be...my shafts already weigh 10.6gpi...got lots of options to get my weight up and boost FOC with insterts....but i'll have to stiffen the spine up...with the QAD i aughta beable to trim an inch or so of shaft...

just thought i might have overlooked a heavier shaft....guess to get heavier, the spine will be way to heavy for anything but a 100lb bow...

Too much spine....for bowhunting shot distances for MOST ....is not a bad thing.

I use GT 5575 with weight tubes and have the shafts at 670 grains. I could use the 100 grain brass inserts and steel adapter and really get them up there, but I would run into spine issues.

Being overspined I don't think is too much of a problem for broadhead shooting at reasonable distances. Underspined, yes, big problems for tuning. You could always use a brass insert to boost FOC and overall weight if that is what you are concerned with. Lots of options out there.
