Stealthcat, No, they are just the bare shafts at this point. I really don't know much about arrows and how to select them, that's evident more so than ever now!
I wasn't going to say anything but yesterday I followed the instructions for figuring out the correct arrow length and I totally screwed up the length I needed along with the correct spine when I bought them! About the only thing I got correct was the arrow color, "black". So, even if they worked they would be to short. I don't have anyone to blame but myself. So I put them up for sale in the classified on this web site. Someone replied and I responded but he is going out of town and I won't hear from him till Monday he said.
This was the first time I ever bought arrows, not trying to make excuses, I just totally messed up!

This is what I did to get my correct arrow length, I want to run it by you guys just to be sure on the method, I know now that it is normally done with a strung bow but this should be very close to the same.
Using just the riser I hooked a measuring tape to the front of the riser and held it just like I was shooting a bow (measuring tape was dead straight). The distance from the corner of my mouth with my middle finger where I anchor to the front of the bow surface/shelf was 29 1/8 inches.

This was "not" with the heel of the hand resting in the riser, I was taught to shoot with the wrist locked straight and the riser grip resting between the thumb and index finger, this totally (almost) eliminates torquing.


To this I am supposed to add 1 to 1.5 inches witch gives me the correct arrow length to get witch would be 30 1/8 to 30 5/8.

This brings up a question: Why so exact, what would it hurt to just shoot a 31 inch arrow ?
