arrows to go with a black max 2

[squeek372]

i just got a mathews black max 2 and was wondering what arrow setup i should use? i was told that i needed to shoot a heavier arrow since it is such a fast shooting bow so i am looking for suggestions.

Congrats on the new bow, I shoot Easton Axis 400 grain. through my black max 2 which is set at 70 pounds at 28 inch draw. I love the arrows; they shoot well out of my BM2 as well as being the most durable arrows I’ve shot... http://www.cabelas.com/prod-1/0052631416355a.shtml

If you want a heavier arrow, you might look at the axis fmj. All of my bows(and I have several are shooting the 340's at 11.1gpi. the arrow is 29 1/4 inches over all. I am using a 125gr. 4 bld eastman TI2. none of my bows are over 63 pounds with one being a superfast dual cam I built set at 55 pounds. This arrow flies great out of all the bows I shoot. I am not saying it is the best set up, just offering a suggestion based on what I am doing.

I tend to like shooting 7-9 grains of arrow weight per pound of bow weight. Her is my latest victom shot yesterday. The arrow went to the fletching only stoping becasue the angle of the stand made the arrow bury up in the ground before it could pass all the way through.

i appreciate the suggestions!!! keep them coming it looks like i have some options....

I like the Easton Full metal jacket 340 which is a little over 11 gr per inch.

btw... When I go to upgrade I’ll most likely go with the fmj Axis.

also am shooting the FMJ's 340 with 100 grain heads

Okay...since the info I got was marginal, I'll take a leap of faith and run this with stock numbers assuming;
28" draw
63 pounds
27.5" arrow
100 gr tip
Blazer vanes
Super Uni nock
release with a loop, here are your choices...if you want to be more specific, or get more info, you have to call me and we'll talk.
FMJ 340...way too stiff arrow would have to be at least 2" LONGER TO SPINE
fmj 400'S SLIGHTLY STIFF good choice arrow speed about 280fps
Carbon Express
Terminator XP selects 6075's perfect spine
VMaxx 2400's Optimum Spine

There are several other options, but too many to list here, so call me and we'll run this with current information on the phone 254-541-0942
