I just bought some Maxima Hunter shafts with weight-forward design and want know if you can cut off of both ends or is it best just one end like the noc end given it is suppose to be weight foward? Any feedback is greatly apprieciated.

I suspect as long as the cuts are even on both ends it wouldn't make tooo much of a difference. I'd just be careful not to cut ONLY from the nock end.

However, I'm kind of suspect as to just how much weight forward benefit these shafts really provide- anyone tested them against the standard Black Maxima apples to apples?

I spoke with a rep at Carbon Express and was told only to cut from the insert end. That cutting the noc end would increase the overall shaft spine and lessen the weight forward bias.

I have always cut from the weight forward end, and honestly have never even given it a thought.

I asked this same question last year when I bought my arrows and was told the same as what JOE says here.

Exactly True! It makes sense if you think about it
