From XX78 Super Slam To Carbon

I am thinking of switching to a carbon arrow.
I shot a 100 grain 2315 with 100 grain broadhead, at 29".

When looking online to order they ask for poundage but no mention of length or grain.
I would like to know if I could use my current Broadheads and if I need to have the arrows cut.

Any help would be great.

First I would like to say that I don't think you will be dissapointed, here are some sights with carbon arrows. www.thegametracker.com, www.goldtip.com. There are many others but I cant remember the URL off hand. With 100 grain broadheads you should be fine, its all a matter of, is the broadhead compatible to the speed you will be shooting, if you decide to go to a lighter arrow. Anyways, take a look at the penetration test on goldtips sight, it will give you an Idea of why carbons are in ways better then Aluminum.
good shooting.

jarhead,(marine???) sorry if you are

I was shooting the same arrow but in the 30 inch length, I went to 29inch PSE carbons and I love them I was shooting 198 with my old jennings and with the new arrows I am getting 228fps, they are a little light 379grains with a 100tip and I am getting tubes installed to get me up to around 430 so my old bow will not blow up on me. get them the are great shooting
