Thinking about trying some higher grade arrows in my Hoyt CSZT 34 and was wondering what people are shooting out of that bow. Maybe I'm wrong in thinking this way but my .308 likes to shoot Hornady SST 165's so maybe my bow would like a specific arrow. I'm pulling 67 lbs at 28 inch draw. Factory string, Ripcord Ace rest. I'm currently shooting Victory V1 with 3 inch helical vanes, which group ok. Don't really want to order a few different half-dozen batches. Any thoughts/suggestions are appreciated. Feel free to speak to me like a child as I don't know too much about arrows other than they go out of my bow.

Cheers,
John

I'm shooting a CSZT Turbo. 70#, 28 inch draw. Shooting .300 FMJ's, 125gr heads and Blazer vanes. I have shot FMJ .340's, GT Kinetic Kaos .300, and .330 FMJ Injexions out of the bow. I really didn't notice any difference with any of the arrows as long as the outserts weren't bent on the Kaos and Injexions.

I shoot the LD version and recently had 70-80# limbs installed. I shot the Carbon Express Maxima Hunters previously and they never let me down. I have been building Black Eagle Spartan arrows for the new set-up so I could add more weight and more spine, but still haven't shot them yet. I had to have an insert weight tool machined at a local shop because BE doesn't make the tool and no one else does either for that size. I have been impressed with the Spartans as far as straightness on spin testing both before and after cutting. Tool is done and will pick it up Friday. Then I'll finish some arrows and let you know how they fly.

I shoot a 2014 CST at 27.5" draw, 62-65lbs.
I use easton axis 340's cut at 27 or 27.5" (cant remember exactly) but with a Firenock 1/2 outsert and 10 grain set screw in the back of it, 100 or 125 grain heads, 3 blazers fletched with the AZ ez fletch tool, no wraps. They fly great. Total weight is 425.5 with the 100 grain heads. FOC is 13.1%. They group well and fly good.

I also shoot some VAP V3 350's with the 5.89 Firenock outserts and 125 grain heads that fly outstanding at 60-65# in the same bow or my vector32.

CSTZT, 70 lbs, 29". I shoot 300 and 340 FMJ's and they tune like a champ. Really haven't had to mess too much with different points; 100 or 125 each work with just some minor yoke tuning and it's good to go.

When I had the CSTZT, it was set at 72 lbs, 30" and I shoot 300 spine arrows ( GT Velocity Pro 300) with 50grs extra up front with 100 gr head.
