CX 300's or CX Hunter 300's?
 
Here is my current setup.
Buckmaster G2 set at 63#'s
CX Hunter 200's 28" Long
Scorpion XP 100's
NAP Quicktune 4000 Drop Away
Mechanical Release
263 fps

Here is my question. I tried raising my poundage but my arrows are already on the edge so naturally they started fish tailing at 65#'s. I'm looking at both the CX 300's which are 8 grains/inch and the CX Hunter 300's which are 9.4 grains per inch. I have seen posts where guys have calculated what the new arrow speed should approximately be. I was wondering what would be the speed of these 2 different shafts with my draw weight set at 65 and 70 pounds respectively? I am only hunting Whiteail or smaller sized game at less than 35 yatds so kinetic energy is a small factor between the 2.

Please don't suggest different equipment or shafts as I don't want this thread turning into a debate. That's on tonight at 9pm. :)

Thanks for any replies with info/answers,
Steve

I'd shoot the CX 300.

Good Luck!

The CX's are straighter and, as you said, the CX hunters are heavier. Personally, I go with straighter. I shoot the CX 300's. I am getting 280 ft/sec with 28" arrows and 100g muzzies for 60 ft-lbs kinetic energy (69 lbs pull, Bowtech Blackhawk at 28" draw).
