Victory has some options. Black eagle. Can do an axis build at that weight (my axis build at 29 c to c was around 435 with 100 plus the easton hit up front), maybe an easton sonic. Probably a Sirius option, dunno though. Mostly depends on your arrow length and I bet alot of the quality manufacturers would have something.

 

Black Eagle Carnivores. My arrow build is a 29.5 ctc shaft with 3 q2i vanes, black eagle nock and aluminum insert with a 50 grain screw-in weight and a 150 grain broadhead. It weighs 500 grains. Without the screw-in weight, it is at 450 grains.

 

I am running victory RIP TKOs 300 spine at 460 grains with 175 total point weight, 4 fletch and wrap at 28.5” draw. For reference that .204 shaft is 8.8gpi.

That said you can go even lighter with Victory’s XV series .204, 300 spine is at a feathery 7.1gpi. If I used only the 145 total point weight that arrow would be in the 375 grain finished with 4 fletch.

I'm running Victory RIPs with 160 up front and I'm at 442 grains 13ish % FOC. C to C length is 29"

 

in case you go with the gold tips.....check out the gt ultralight line....they are the same as the velocity but are cheaper if you go with shafts of the same tolerances....not sure why gold tip does their pricing like that

ultralights and ultralight pros are the only thing i've shot for over a decade, extremely tough arrow for the weight

 

I'm not sure what arrow length you need, but I shoot 31" Victory VAP 300s with 35 grain inserts and 150 grain target points/broadheads. Mine weigh 478. If yours are shorter, they'd be closer to 450. Shafts are 8.7 gpi. They've never failed me.

 

Black Eagle Carnivores are great

Goldtip Airstrike or Ultralight pro ..

 

For what? Hunting or target? If for hunting the lighter you try to get a 300 shaft the less likely it will be strong. A small OD and thicker wall might be the best route.

 

victory 3DHV or RIP XV (same shaft... one comes with a nock bushing, the other comes with a point adapter.)
black eagle X impact or carnivore.

gold tip has some offerings, but they are a bit pricier. the 3 listed above have been plenty tough for me for both hunting and field archery.

 

Lightest will be the Victory RIP XV.

 

All the options listed above are legit.

Why do you want to go so light?

 

Been using the velocity XT's for over 10 years, I see no reason to change. Have only broken two on deer, one fell directly on the arrow when spined and the other was a follow up that buried in the offside shoulder and the deer sheared it. Otherwise they are as tough as they come, they were the early versions @ 8.5 gr per inch. The visible arrow is the one that got sheared off, the other one the deer fell on and didn't break, still shooting it.

 

GT Series 22's; 300 spine, 7.3 GPI.

 

Easton Hexx, or the new replacement, I think it's the Sonic 6.0.

 

Victory rip xv with hit insert and sleeve from ethics are great! The aluminum insert and sleeve are 65 grains combined.

 

Here are some sub 9 gpi options:

 

I have a Google sheet that looks just like that!

I love my Carnivore's..!!! I am running 430 grains with 167 up front.

 

Can’t go wrong with black eagles. Carnivores or rampage

 

+1 for the Black Eagle Rampage. 300spine 8.7gpi is hard to beat for their prices and tolerances

 

Black Eagle!

 

Victory VAP SS will get you close. I’m at 470 with their 50 grain half out. Can go even lighter with ethics insert and collar.

 

There has only been a comment or two on here about FOC with these light arrow setups. Is anyone worried about getting to much FOC on a lighter shaft with 175-200 up front and total weight around 500gr?

 

By running to much weight up front you could effectively break down the spine and need to go stiffer. It's a balancing act.

 

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have a lot to check into.

 

Say it all the time gold tip hunter xt 300gr cut to 1&1/2 “ short of your drawlength and pick the insert based on your styl of shooting (I use 100gr) you won’t find a more affordable,dependable,quality product out there
