JNTurk,
Look at the two links below. The Stalkers are same exact spec's as the Beman ICS Hunters, and look which arrow it tells you to get. Unless you want to drop weight down below 60#, they still recommend the 340's which are the same as the 65/80's. For safety and best shooting you should NEVER underspine your set-up.

Keep in mind, you're set up will be faster than the avg IBO also because you have that extra 1" of draw, you can pretty much add 8-10fps.

Check out his site, the calculator is pretty close to what I've gotten out of my last 3 set-ups: http://thearcheryhut.com/calculators.php

well i went forward with the cabelas hunters...called them and they only come in 33" and they don't cut them...so to take them and have them cut would bring my total cost close to that of the high end arrows[:@]

so i went to EBAY to check things out and found Carbon Express Terminator Lites (9.1) for 60/75 arrow at $50!!!!!!!! seller is archery shop and he will cut to my likings.......soooo ..... i couldn't pass it up and am hoping for the best.......but i have lots of replacement nocks inserts that will fit those arrows so it is a plus all around......i will let you guys know how these arrows turn out.....
