Carbon Express

[BuckBrann02]

How many of you have tried both the CX Maxima and the new CX Maxima Hunter? In your opinion, which is better? Or is it a coin toss?

Hmmm,.. I chose the Carbon Express 300 Selects to shoot and hunt with. After comparison of the hunter series which had a shaft tolerance of +/- .003" in straightness, as opposed to the .001" for the 300 Selects.

I'm shooting a Pearson Diamondback VX @70# draw weight & the Select 300's are 8.1 grains per inch and I draw a 29" arrow. So that gives me a bare bones arrow weight of 234.9 grains. Add a 125 grain Muzzy broadhead plus nocks and inserts and we're in the 375 grain total weight projectile. These chrony-out in the 296-300 Fps range for me with about 75 lbs of kill energy.

I picked the selects due to them being weight sorted and staying within +/- 1 grain within the dozen shafts purchased. Everyone has their own preference in arrows,.. I like keeping mine as consistant as possible which makes for more consistant shooting.
