You are shooting about 5 pounds more than I at the same draw. I use a 2013, and 175 grain heads. You may be able to use hem, with your lighter head, or you may wish to give a good ol' 2016 a shot. My arrows are all cut to 28", BTW.

Darn unusual for me to go with a stiffer spine than the rest of the guys on these questions, but that is my best guess.

I'm just curious. I know a 2014 is basically a target shaft since Easton doesn't offer this size in their line of hunting shafts. The 2014 is only offered in their line of target shafts.

I also know Easton does not make an RPS (replaceable point system) insert for the 2014. Where do you get RPS inserts from for a 2014?

Nite Wing....Picked up 18 for about 5 bucks on blahbay (7 shipped). They are NOS still in the labeled satalite baggie. I also have some 2016 glue in/on broadhead adapters that fit. (and another brand that doesnt)
