Are they fletched any differently? Also, are there different types of inserts?Everything is out of the box for both.
Draw length?Sorry 29"

Your fmjs are 11.3 gpi
The maximas are 9.07 gpi
try a 100gr head

You just need to adjust bow.
The reds only have 2 choices the 250s & 350a they cover all your different spines.
They fly different because they are totally different arrows.
The reds are great arrows

I think you need a stiffer spine arrow, at 70#, 29"DL and 125gr heads your on the verge of going to 300sOk I guess it's a good excuse to buy some vipertricks!
Your fmjs are 11.3 gpi
The maximas are 9.07 gpi

No reason to sell maximasWhat adjustments should I make on my bow?

Just realized the 100gr head will probably help your foc but you'll likely be below the 6grns per lb for legal hunting so you might also have to turn down your poundage.I think you need a stiffer spine arrow, at 70#, 29"DL and 125gr heads your on the verge of going to 300sOk I guess it's a good excuse to buy some vipertricks!

You definitely need new arrows and should sell the reds to me at a drastically reduced price.You caught me on the right day I guess :chuckle:

Good price and right length, but these are not Red's.
I think if you do some tuning you are going to like the Red's. I switched over last year and after getting them tuned to my bow, I really like them. Only thing I don't like is they seem to be fairly brittle and easy to break and fletching them is a pain. Only glue I can get to hold is AAE Max Bond.

I would think your FOC would decrease with the drop in point weight, but stiffening the spine may cure the problem. Its odd that the lighter arrow is dropping more.Yup lighter arrow has a higher foc, which can cause a drop at distance.

Do the fmj's and the reds have the same diameter, if they are larger diameter than u will need to adjust your rest downReds are larger.
