I'm sure you already know this, XT Hunter 75-95 black shafts are .340 spine, While the 75-95 Traditional shafts are .300 spine....

Thanks, but already checked his website and he does not list any 75-95's

Meaning that the XT Hunter is spined heavier than the Tradidional shaft?  I have shot both the 55-75 and 75-95 and seem to get a little better flight with the 75-95's.  I think I am in the trasition area.  I shoot 70 lb bow at 31" length.  I think the length is what is pushing my into the 75-95 range.
I am a little short on arrows for my javelina hunt in Dec. so wanted to buy somemore shafts to make up.

The Traditional 75/95 shaft is stiffer than the Black XT Hunter 75/95 shaft.

Just because his web site does not list the 7595s, it does not mean he does not have them. I suggest you call him, he has a lot of stuff not on his site.

I do keep the 7595's on hand. I personnally shoot them and loose a bunch so I need to keep a good supply.

thanks, BigJim

acolobowhunter,
I shoot a similiar setup at 71 lbs. and 31 in. arrow.  I have built a really nice arrow using the GT 7595.  806 gr. with 26% FOC.  Shoot perfect.
