Default Hoyt Vipertech Arrows?

Hey guys I just ordered a new Hoyt Vipertech bow. What hunting arrow would you guy's suggest? I currently use GT 5575 but I want a lighter arrow to hopefully get a little more speed.
Thanks in advance!

Duh, forgot to put all of my stats. I will be shooting a 28.5" draw 58-60 lbs, trophy taker drop away and 100 grain razorcap broadheads.
Thanks

I would not go any lighter than Gold Tip 5575 shafts, certainly not for hunting anyway. I just tested some Axis shafts last weekend and was amazed at how they out penetrated my 5575 Gold tips.

I agree with TerryM, 5575's w/ 100 gr. tips are about as light as I'd want to go. Although i have seen guys using 75 grain heads with those arrows. Something to consider.

Just my 2-cent,s here. I have the same bow on 27 1/2 draw and it shoots blackhawk vapors pro 4000 at total weight 377.8 grs at 256fps at 62lbs .I also shoot pse 200 total weight 324.2 on 64lbs. at 273fps. Anything faster than 280fps can be a little harder with a broad head to shoot. I have no problem at 273fps with 324.2 grs for hunting deer at 20 to 30 yards. Just my 2 cents.

Someone mentioned the axis. I personally shoot the axis with my razortec and my friend shoots the 400's out of is vipertec, not sure what they chrono but it is quick and he's had pass through's on all his deer so far. 27.5" draw, 62lbs 100gr. muzzy 3-blade.

We were testing a new target a couple of weeks ago and in a brand new target I was getting 8" more penetration from an 9.5 gpi Axis shaft vs an 11gpi carbon fury and the same from a 8.2 gpt goldtip XT. Those axis shafts were almost going as deep as my acc 3-60s. I was very impressed with the axis shafts. There has been some bad press on these around here but sometimes rumours tend to take on a life of thier own real quick. I remember reading one person saying they warped just resting in a corner. A friend of mine is testing them this year and so far they are proving to be excellent. If they continue to give that same performance I will likely switch to them next year myself.
