well back in the old days (they should actually be called the young days!!) I used to shoot 2115 X7's with 2.75" spin wings (you can still buy these btw).

Actually everyone shot X7's as carbon and aluminum/carbon arrows hadn't been invented.

They are fine at whatever distance you can reach.

Yes, they are slower, Yes they're more affected by wind BUT - they still go in the middle when shot properly.

Carbon arrows go faster but they are no more accurate, they just punish a weak shot as badly and they help with longer distances.

You should be fine upto 80yds (but this of course depends on factors such as your anchor position and face geometry and style).

If you can shot 10's with your X7's then you will definitely see an improvement outdoors when you move to carbon.
