I have a Hoyt Nitrux 30 inch draw maxes at 70 lbs. Help me get a good Easton Carbon Arrow setup. Name and spine size. I’m not interested in the FMJ’s.
I’m not sure that I wanna go the FMJ route. I’ve heard a lot of bad things about them.With your draw length and poundage you need some weight. I would keep it simple and shoot 300 spine Easton 5mm FMJ
Don’t believe everything you hear on these forums. FMJ is a phenomenal hunting arrow. I’ve been using them for the last 5-6 years. Never broke or bent one. Had more issues with the axis I shot before. You will also always hear more bad about a best selling arrow than one that doesn’t sell as well.I’m not sure that I wanna go the FMJ route.

I beg to differ. I see posts like this and it drives me crazy. Ive hit arrows, rebar in targets and killed multiple animals and have yet to bend one.If it were me I would stay away from the FMJ's, and try the Axis Match Grade. Either the 300's or the 260's should work just fine for you. I'm pretty OCD about my arrows and it doesn't take much to put even the slightest wobble into an FMJ. And hitting a rebar stake inside of a 3D target will put more than a wobble into them, whereas with the carbons you'll just mushroom the field tip.

Why would someone else's experience with a product drive you crazy? That's odd. I'm not talking an actual "bend" as in visible with the naked eye.........well except for those that hit the rebar inside targets. Those had an actual BEND behind the inserts. I'm talking "putting the arrow on a spinner and it has a visible wobble now". That happened to every single one of the 1/2 dozen I was shooting.........within the first three weeks of shooting them. And that wobble was always in the last 6-8" closest to the insert end. There's nothing to "beg to differ" on this.
If you're never going to shoot them past 40 yards, you may never notice a difference. But at 60+ the flight differences are obvious if you shoot well enough to tell.

All I am saying is I have never had a problem nor has anyone I hunt with. I shoot daily out past 100 yards and super tune all my bows and friends bows for the last 5 years. I have yet to put an FMJ on a spinner that wasn’t true and that’s after hitting stuff and killing stuff. The axis arrows I used for 3 years prior don’t spin well.
I’ve got my choices down to a Axis and Hexx any recommendations on one over the other?
