Which arrow set up would you prefer?

This is a follow up to my other thread:

Which arrow set up would you prefer if both arrows shot great?

Draw length 28", bow set at 65lbs.

Easton Axis Match Grade 300 spine- Cut to 26.75" carbon to carbon (total length from end of insert to nock throat 27 7/8"), 100 grain insert, 125 grain head, total arrow weight about 550 grains. Roughly 16-17% FOC.

Easton Hexx 330 Spine- Cut 27.25" carbon to carbon, 75 grain insert, 125 grain head, total arrow weight about 445 grains, FOC 18-19%

Mainly hunting whitetail and pigs from a tree or a ground blind. Max shot would be 40 yards.

If shooting fixed blades the Hexx. If shooting mechanicals axis.

I shoot sirius Apollos 450 grains. I've never had a deer stop it with trypans. I wouldn't be afraid to shoot anything in North America with a 450 grain arrow.. I'd just change heads depending on the animal..
The axis is the tougher of the two arrows.
That is the first thing I look at. I've crushed weaker arrows hitting bone. If the arrow fails the broadhead doesn't matter..

The proven 450 gr option.

Axis set up.

Arrows get too slow for me beyond 500 grains. At 28” 65#, I’d go 455 with a good head.

I can say that his Axis 5mm Match Grade arrows are lethal. Put them to use today on a doe. Full pass through.

The one that you have the most confidence in and feels right to you, both will do the job.

I would go with the Axis, but use a 50grn insert with a 100grn head and a 25grn impact collar. Around 500 grains seems to be the sweet spot for me as far as speed and arrow weight goes. I’m a 28.5” draw at 70lbs. I wouldn’t get to hung up on the FOC. This is simply my opinion, I would build a few of each and test them out!

Heavier arrow setup will have a better chance of penetrating.

I’ve got the Easton Axis 5mm with 75gr outsert, 125gr heads, and blazers. With a nocturnal they are 548 grains and they hit like hammers. I blew 3 through pigs last week.
