Smitteken Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 This is a spin off of the classifieds for the GTs. I shoot 2315 aluminums right now at 70 lbs of draw. i've been pondering going to carbons for speed and reliability. what size carbon would be best for me? what would be the best rest to go to if I decide to go with them? thanks to all who reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Carbon questions I shoot the Goldtip XT's 7595 I think is the number, and I shoot right around 70#. It's a bit over spined, but it seems to work just fine. I'd suggest some type of fall away rest. There's a lot of good ones on the market now--Trophy Taker, Muzzy Zero effect, NAP, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Carbon questions If you are shooting spots or 3d I would get a dropaway rest. Otherwise I would get a Whisker Biscuit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedicast Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Carbon questions I'm shooting Gold tip 55/75 XT Hunters, I'm shooting 63 lbs and my arrows are 27.2 inches long. I use a Vital Bow Gear, Ultimate FallAway rest. Works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted June 15, 2005 Report Share Posted June 15, 2005 Re: Carbon questions If you go to Easton's site online they have a chart that will fit your bow's needs. The chart will tell you what arrow to choose. I shoot Easton C2's in Realtree HD and love them. As for a rest, lots to choose from, from drop aways to containments like the Whisker Bisquit, lots of choices, all depends on what you what to spend and what you feel comfortable setting up. Good luck in whatever you decide. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
