I have 2 dozen of the 9.9 and have been using them for several months. I like the color (better than the camo).

I went to my local shop to buy another dozen and specified that I wanted the non camo model. I assumed this would mean I would get the 9.9 gpi arrows because the Easton rep at a local sportsman show told me that the camo model is heavier because of the process it goes through to be camo.

Needless to say, I ended up buying and having cut to size, a dozen 10.2 gpi arrows.

Why are they heavier? What do I do now? I don't think it is the shops fault, I should have asked more questions and inspected this before having them cut. How much will .3 gpi affect my shot? Can you still get them in 9.9 gpi?

I had my bow sighted in for the FMJ Axis arrow that, with wraps, weighed a total of 447 grains. Went back the regular Axix w/o wraps, at a total arrow weight of 392 grains, and noted no appreciable difference in trajectory out to 50 yards. Your difference is so much smaller I doubt if you would notice even at longer distances.
