    Anyone know of any thin/5mm arrows that are lite but have a stiff enough spine when cut to 30" on a #65 bow?

    I'd like some faster arrows for whitetails and 3D and preferably 5mm thin.

    Thanks much.

    If you want a faster stiffer arrow then check out victory especially the tko,s there awesome they hit hard and fly fast but victory has some great arrows that are smaller diameter and stiffer in spine. I shoot the victory tko,s and fmjs

    340 spine will work depending on point weight. If you are going real light on point weight a 350 or 400 spine may work. While you may gain speed you may lose accuracy. I shoot Eastons and they are 5 mm.

    Black eagle would be your best bet for LIGHT 5mm shafts.

    Currently I'm shooting Da Torch arrows and their fast/light but 6mm

    I use lighted nicks so I end up with a 125g tip for a higher FOC.

    I'm using there Rampages now for Elk and bigger game. Really love the penetration I get from the smaller diameter.

    What do you guys think of these for hunting arrows?

    Victory RIP XV Xtreme Velocity Elite V1 Arrow Shaft

    Wondering if they are to thin and what broadheads you could use.

    Wondering if you guys could help with my issue I have 300 spine black eagle rampages cut at around 26 inches and I have a 70# draw and 27 inch draw length is this to stiff if so is it possible to tune it out I've heard that it is. I'm on the line between 350 and 300 spine
