I am switching from Aluminum to Carbon this year and have spent a LOT of time reading posts. For various reasons, I have narrowed my selection down to two choices. I have only bow hunted a few years, so I do not fully understand all the technical stuff. I will give the information and have and welcome opinions.

I shoot a older Darton Bow (compound). I cannot remember the exact model, but I know it doesn't have any of the current aggressive cams. I know for a fact I'm shooting 60lb draw and 26.5 inch arrows with 100 grain tips. I know my bow has a 65% let-off and I use a mechanical release.

OK, I am considering the Goldtip Pro or the Carbon Express CXL Select. (I like these two brands, but the exact model is up for suggestions) I have visited the BowJackson website and it is not totally up to date with the most current models, but the basic information I got was this.

The Carbon Express (200) which will currently be 250 weighed 366 grains and had a FOC of 10.2 %. The Goldtip (3555) which will be a 55/75 weighed 356 grains and had a FOC of 8.7%. According to Goldtips website, the FOC was closer to 11% and I do not have another reference on the Carbon Express.

Now, whether experience or just plain knowledge. Give me opinions or even tell me I'm headed in the total wrong direction. Also, I hear a LOT about the spine issue-How's mine looking? Other arrows in this price range that may be better? I'm all ears, so give me the scoop.
