looking for a good arrow
like I said earlier I am new to this great sport. but I would like some info on some decent arrows for my bow setup. I am shooting 29" draw, 62# , shooting a Martin Tracer Mag. I currently have a whisker biscuit, copper john sights. would appreciate all the help i could get on picking out an arrow.

RE: looking for a good arrow
What do you have in mind? Do you want carbon shafts or alluminum, a heavy shaft or something light and fast?
I personally prefer the atributes of carbon to alluminum but I also want a heavier shaft. I've shot quite a few diffrent shafts and goldtips are IMO a superior carbon shaft.
If you tell us more what you're looking for we should be able to get you headed in the right direction.

RE: looking for a good arrow
If you like carbon them I recommend most of the high end shafts. If you buy cheap carbons you are likely to end up with shafts that are less then straight.
If you were looking at goldtip shafts a 5575 would be spined on the cusp of weak and the 7595 are a little stiff. The arrow length will really make the diffrence between shafts. If you want a heavier setup then you could probably get away with 7595 shafts (assuming a 29" shaft) and a heavier 125g head.

GT also has a "arow builder" on their site :
This give you a chance to play around with numbers and actually what will give you the prefered setup.

Shoot, Easton Acc's, their expensive but there in none better, carbon express is also a good make there really tough also less expensive. if your price conscious I would go with 1/2 dozen carbon express cx hunter 300's.
