Default RE: Correct spine stiffness for X-heavy bows

OK, after a few calls, alot of web-surfing (and use of an inexpensivedraw-weigth calculator )I finally got a lead on some makes of carbon arrow to use on the heavier draw weigth. Of course more than a few of them are in the $120-$180 per dozen price range, which is WAAAY out of budget for me.
BUT I found that, Yes I should be using AT LEAST .300 spines when you adjust for weight, draw, cam, etc, etc. (hats off to mobowhuntr. Thanks)
I still may have to shorten up to fix the problem completly, but it's a start.

On that note, besides the Beman and Easton shafts, (I've heard more than a fewtalk about inconsistancy and weakness on some of their shafts), anyone know of brands that would fit the bill?
I saw a listing for a company by the name of Blackhawk that had ones in the spine I'm looking for at a relatively cheap "testing out a few types" price. Any others?
