Give the 2413 a try.It weighs 10.40 grains per inch giving you 280.8 grains for a 27 inch arrow(bare shaft of course).The 2315 you are currently shooting weighs in at 315.09,a significant difference.That should pick up a little extra speed

If you don't want to break the bank I would say any of the mid range all carbon ICS style arrows would work just fine...........something like a Carbon Express CX, or a Gold tip XT will shed the weight considerably while still retaining plenty of KE for whitetail sized game.
A 27" 2315 with a 100gr head and 4" vanes will weigh in at about 500 grs, so you will probably drop around 130-140grs or so going to say a CX300 or a Gold Tip 5575 that would weigh in around 360grs.(if all else is equal point weight, fletch style etc) which will flatten that trajectory out considerably.[:-]

However with such a move you will pick up increased vibration and noise so you may want to keep that in mind (although the Q2 is a pretty mild shooting bow to begin with)

Maybe a better alternative might be a heavier weight all carbon shaft like a CE Terminator Hunter that will give you a more mid range finished arrow weight in the mid 400gr range........enough of a weight reduction that you will see a difference in trajectory, but not sacrifice the quiet and smooth shot you will get from your heavy arrows.

I don't know about aluminums but I'd shoot the goldtips 7595's out of that setup. With a 100 grain head you should be right at or just under 400 grains. I'd figure you'd be at 265+ft/sec with that deal.

I have used 27" 2314's with 70lb bows and a 29" draw for years with excellent results. depending on point weight etc you can drop about 100 grns off the 2315.

YUP... your present arrows are way overspined for what you're shooting. You'll pick up a ton of speed just with better flight if you get the right arrow. Go to Jacksons site and plug in your values. You're way overspined at present unless you're shooting about a 150 grain head.[&:]

2213 would probably work. I shot 65 pounds with this arrow, and, yes, I know according to the Easton chart it is light, but until I switched to carbon, this is the arrow I shot for years with great success.
