I'm trying to decide between these two shafts for hunting this year. I understand other manufacturers are great and that's dandy but these two shafts from Black Eagle are the ones I want to give a try. NOW for the meat and potatoes of trying to decide.... I'm shooting HOYT Defiant 34, 30" draw @ 70lbs. I'm looking to have the shafts cut at 28" carbon to carbon and want to keep my arrows flying in the 280FPS range and in order to do that I have to keep the weight of the completed arrow around 465 grains. ill be running a 125 head and 3" vanetec v max or SS vanes.
-I emailed Black Eagle asking about their spine chart being based off of having a 100 grain head and they responded that since I will run a 125 grain head at 28" length shaft with my draw weight they recommended a 250 spine shaft.
-If I chose to shoot the XImpact 250 spine ill be around 450-460 grains (depending on the outsert I choose I.e. black eagles or firenock)
-In order to stay around the 465 or a little less ill have to go with a 300 spine in the Rampage. and my finished arrow weight will be somewhere around 455 grains. if I go with the 250 rampage Itll have a finished weight around 500 grains which I don't want to do.
-my question to you all is do you think the 300 spine rampage will be just fine for me or should I definitely go with the 250 spine x impact. and also if I do go with the x impact what outsert shall I use? right now I'm shooting GT hunter xt in 300 spine with a 125 gr head and ive not had any issues with it. So it kind of threw me for a loop when black eagle said I should def shoot 250 spine.
