    I currently shoot CX pile drivers (I think they are 350s but i'm not 100% sure), total weight 490-495 grains, and I want something that shoots a little faster. I've been thinking about getting Easton Bloodlines, the ones that have the reduced diameter. Good move, or stay with the heavier?:confused:

    You're shooting enough poundage and draw length that I would stay with the Pile drivers.

    How fast are those arrows shooting through your set up? should be pretty quick with that dl and dw even at that heavier weight. Although i am an easton guy when it comes to arrows, seems like you have a winning set up at the moment. read this too might help you with your decision http://archeryreport.com/2011/03/arr...-real-results/

    He is shooting right at 267fps with current setup. I think it's pretty good the way it is. But, we both want to try something new just to try it.

    I Wouldn't Change A Thing. 10 15 Fps Is Going To Make Zero Difference In A Hunting Setup. The Setup You're Using Is Perfect In My Opinion. I TooShoot Fmjs. And Slower Than Your BoW. And I Have 9 Dead Deer With Them

    As others have said, stay heavy. Even dropping 100grns in arrow weight will not account more for than a few inches of elevation difference at 30 yards. Stay quiet and kill.

    Easton Axis arrows. Best arrow on the market IMO.

    I would look at black eagle rampage or vicory vap. There lighter, smaller diameter, and probably pick up better penetration. Both should be a tough arrow. You should be able to take off 100 gr over your current arrows which will give you a better flight path. If you think they are too light you can always add weight to the front and will give you better foc then your current arrows as well.
