Default RE: Buying some new arrows

Take some time and tell us more specifics about the bow. You say your draw is 26". Is that you or the bow? You need to actually measure the draw length of the bow. Bow stickers and module numbers are not always accurate.

If the bow and you are indeed 26" then you migh be able to get away with a 25" arrow. In this case you could get something with a 500spine. That leaves you open to a lot of different shafts depending on whether you want to shoot a light arrow for speed or a little heavier for hunting, or anything in between if you want an all-purpose arrow.

Point weight (forget broadheads for now) can help determine the length of shaft you choose, but 100 grains seems to be the most common weight used. I mean that about broadheads. If you aren't planning on setting this up for hunting in the next few months then what broadheads you choose is the least of your worries.

Easton Epics can be OK, as would Beman ICS. Want something lighter there's the Easton Litespeed. Guess you're also looking at price, right. Epics or ICS. You should be looking for a 500 spine though.
