325 huh? Hmmm....Have you shot Gold Tip? I think you can get 325 out of the 22 series or the Ultralight Entradas. A friend of mine will even shave bits off his inserts to lose a few grains.

A light shaft I've seen but not used is the Light Speed. I think it's by Easton. At one time I figured it to be around 320 something, BUT that's a small shaft. I'd think that you'd want to shoot some sort of log for 3-D.

I shoot Beman 9.3. The drawback with those is that they are more fragile than most shafts. For me, they work so I get them. Right now I have them at 379, but I'm shooting in the hunter class so I don't really need to pick up the speed, since I'm not shooting very far. Besides, my pins won't get that close together.

You shooting 65 pounds or is 325 your own minimum?

I hope you find something that works. Good luck.

I shoot low profile, 4",Duravanes. Ican't shoot Blazers, because I tuck the fletch between my bottom lip and chin, so with Blazers I push the arrow off the rest. The low profile Duravanes are perfect for me, and they're pretty tough too.

Are you going to the Open Class by choice or are you being moved up?

I used alot of different carbons over the yesrs that I sot 3D and a buddy just gave me a half dozen Easto Hyper speed 2-39/470 which weighed in just alittle over 325. and they shot great out of my bow, which is a ancient bow(made in the late 80s Martin pro safari) and I was gitting 287fps at 60 pounds at a 28 inch draw with them. I was shooting them through the conograph after I set my bow up, then paper tuned them. and got another 4fps so all together 291fps.I just called my local achery shop tonight and he said if I want to stay with basicly the same arrow he diffently pushed the Easton Lightspeed on me. He had used them for a while and loves them.So that is my2 cents worth. But I deffently a beliverin asking alot of question and talking notes, dont be afraid to ask at your local shop and talk to all the people that hang out there.
