What is your draw lenght? What lenght arrows?I've shot just about all of the differnt brands over the years and all have good pionts and bad.I had good luck with gold tips,carbon express,as well as most of the easton carbons.Give alittle more info on your set up. Dan

hey ummm.... i was wanting to no what is the best carbon arrow for a pse nova

My hunting bow is set at 83#'s, 31" draw and I have found that I get very good flight and durability with the carbon force 400 extremes with a 100 grain tip, I believe my shafts are cut to 29 1/2". You might also try gold tips 7595's I have used them with good results as well.

bowhuntingismything; my wife shoots very close to the same specs as you and really likes the carbon force 100's with a 50 grn nibb fpr 3d shooting, and gold tip 3555's with 85 grn steelforce for hunting

as long as they are spined correctly most any of the main arrow manufacturers products will work well for you.

Hope this helps

my draw is 31" and my arrows are 26 1/4 '' . I'm trying to find a carbon arrow that will give the best performance in place of 2216's .thanks for the help .

With an 80# draw I'd think you would need a stiffer splined arrow such as the Carbon Force 400 that was recomended.

Hey guys. Try www.bowjackson.com or www.eastonarchery.com Both site have an interactive chart you can fill out and it'll tell you what arrow will be compatible.

Max, if you're serious about getting carbons then get rid of the overdraw. You don't need it with carbons. They are light enough to give you all the speed you'll want. I used to shoot for XI and can say if you start shooting short carbon arrows at 26.5" and 80# in the spine deflection (not spline) of .400" you're going to need a bow pretty soon because your limbs are not built for that. In fact most newer bows are not either. Best bet is to put your rest on the riser and shoot a full length arrow such as Beaman or Easton 300's.
