I can't tell you about the cabela's arrows. I've only shot cedar and ash out of my traditional bows. I will agree with Jeff that the specifics are not as important as when shooting with wheels (guess its all cams these days, just dated myself there..lol). Spine is much more important and I guess that weight is with the longer shots. Most of usshootinng traditional aren't taking too many long shots unless stumpshooting and playing a bit of competion with who ever we're with. When I was buying shafts from a friend who was a dealer, I'd go over and spine and weigh all of the shafts until I got a dozen that were almost identical. I did it because I could, can't say I could shoot any better with those shafts than the dozen random "practice" shafts he would sell me for cheap that were only rough spined and not weighed. If your buying carbon/aluminum you'll have consistency. Shoot several different spines through your bow if you can to see what flies best.
