Default Can anyone help me pick out arrows?

I am looking for carbon arrows to hunt with now I am not sure exactly all the specs I need to include so bear with me

broadhead- 100 grain G 5 montec or possibly a 100 grain Muzzy 3 blade.
drawlength- 29 inches if I measured right I went from the back of the nock to the front of the arrow shelf.
arrow length-29 1/4 inches are what I am using now.
Draw weight- 56 pounds now I can change this a little and by looking at the charts I maybe should increase the poundage by a little bit because I am kind of in between two different spines.

I am mainly interested in 3 brands: Goldtip, Beamen, Easton and right now I am kind of leaning towards Easton. If there is anything I need to include just tell me. Thanks in advance for whoever helps me.

You can use 400 Beaman ICS Hunters . Thats almost the same set up I use, except when I use 220 grain Muzzy Phantoms I go up to 340 ICS Hunters.

You should be fine with any of the Easton 400 series arrows.

Thanks guys I really appreciate you helping a rookie out.Now I just need to decide on a brand. I'll have to take a closer look at each brands arrows when I go back to college Monday. It takes forever trying to load their websites with all the graphics on them using dial up

I know you narrowed your desicion down to three, but you need to try CX maxima hunters. I started shooting them this year (my brother also bought them after he tried mine) and I woundnt shoot antything else right now. Not to sound like the commercial but i passed though my deer this year at 40 yards. I shot bemans for the last 5 years (ics).

For the money, these are the best I've found, basically a Beman ICS Hunter for a better price, and you could shoot the 55/70 arrows w/ your set-up and get down in the 360-370gr range for some decent speed.

Thanks for all your replys. I ended up going with the Beaman ICS hunter arrows. I ordered them last Friday so i'm hoping to get them by this weekend.
