using aluminum arrows

Post by Ocnorb2 »

i have a bundle of Easton XX75 in 2018 and 2114 sizes. I'd like to see about shooting them out of my Exomax, 225 lb draw, 350 ft/sec. Has anyone tried this and do you think these arrows would work?

WELCOME, I use 2114's gold tip inserts and nocks fit like a glove, also to me they fit the center of the string serving when loaded.

What do the 2114s weigh? Grains per inch?
