Could be wrong and if I am someone is bound to correct me but it looks like your bow might be better served by the 75-95's instead of the 60-75's (this is what the Archery Program is telling me at least)... Their spine (The GT 75/95) is the same rating as Easton Axis 340's.

It may be fast but how does it fly, with a 400 spine arrow. Remember speed does not kill, shot placement does.

It shoots great with the 400 arrow. But i only have about 5 of these arrows left. I' am going to order the gold tips tonight with the 75/95 shaft. I paper tune the bow with the 400's and it is shooting bullet holes. and when i shoot groups i shoot about 5-6 arrows and they are all touching each other. I had to quit shooting groups because i was having to re-fletch all my arrows after shooting.

Uhm, I may be out of line hear, but screw the charts if those arrows will fly a fixed broadhead with great accuracy, who care what a chart says? (As lang as your not dipping below the 5 grains per pound minimum) I'm sure the deer you just blew a hole through is going to feel extra insulted because you strayed from a chart/program to bring him down.
If the Axis are working that good for you, why the need for a brand switch?

I am shooting the 340's at 65# pull myself, but if 400's are flying great for you- more power to ya.

I'm sure the 75/95's will work great if that's the direction your headed. Nothings better than confidence in your set up.

deer-hunter, I wasn't kidding about them being underspined, at least according to convention. You ay they paper tune well, but at what distance? Try several distances and see if they keep punching holes. I wouldn't bother going past about 20' though. By that time your fletching is affecting the arrow. And once you got this try screwing some broadheads on and shooting them to see how they group, and where.

I do agree with Dave though. If they do, indeed, turn out to shoot everything to the same hole then by golly, good for you. It just proves that there are exceptions to every rule.
