Default need some arrow help

i know ill head to a store and get these cut, but whats a good hunting arrow for the Hoyt Vectix with 29inch draw(shooting 60-62 pound draw weight). Im coming from the crossbow world back into the compounds. I know on my crossbow bolts, i liked 15%FOC for my settings. Whats a good basic arrow and weight for this bow? I would like to stick with the range 100grain heads if that matters to. Years ago, it was only a few arrows to pick from. Now its thousands LOL.. Also, im a big fan of carbon so i'd like to stick with it

Crazy,

There are so many to choose from, and the specifications are so variant, you have to decide how much you want to spend, and how good an arrow you personally want. I'm happy with the arrow in my signature because they are cheap and consistent as ever for me and my set-up. Just about anything in the Carbon Express line in a 4560 or a 250 series is good for your set-up, or if you look at Beman, just about any of their 400 series matches nicely, while the best match you'll find in a Gold Tip arrow is gonna be in the 5575 series. These are the best SPINE for you, now you need to decide how much you want to spend and how "good" of an arrow you personally want. For me the arrows I shoot are "good enough," and having shot 6 RH's with them over the past few years means that the spines must and straightness must be PRETTY consistent, for you, it's a matter of personal preference. Good Luck!!!

There is a lot of arrows to choose from. Check out their websites most of them have charts. I think Carbon Impact even does foc in their build your own arrow chart.
