The Hankerin' for Tinkerin'... Arrows
#11
Dustin I am currently shooting the Gold Tip Pro 22s out of myOld Gloryright now. And they are shooting great. I even hunt with them. I believe you get the best of both world as far as durability and with them being light.
Now mind you I add some weight to them when I hunt. I prefer my hunting arrows to be 400 grains plus. But IMHO The series 22s by gold tip are a good choice.

I think you will be pleased with them Dustin. I have my Old Glory set at 29" Draw and 65 lbs. Now you may want to consider keeping your arrows a little longer than you normally do so you could get your spine right. Maybe and Inch or 2. And if they are too long you can always cut them down. I made the stupid mistake of cutting mine almost too short. In fact I know I am overspinned with mine but whe your getting 3" groups at 50yds with them like me right now I think i'll keep them just how they are.

If you want to shoot it for indoors and 3D, I would actually recommend a X-Cutter with their 47 grain insert, 65 gain converta target point from lancaster (link below), pin nocks, and a 4" bohning LP x vane or 4" or flex fletch FLP-400's. The flex fletch's are lighter, and the bohnings are stronger, use what you need. Cut the shaft so that the point sits directly above the throat of the grip on the bow, with a rest no more than 1/2" behind the end of the carbon.
They are almost as light as a pro 22, spine is stiff enough so that spine tolerance won't matter, and they fly like darts. The flp vanes weigh in at about 7 grains, and 28.5" shaft length you will end up around 380 grains and will still get acceptable speed for 35 yard 3D and will gain quite a bit in line cutting ability. If you want to hunt with these arrows too though, get the Pro 22's.
Edit - I recommend shooting a spring steel blade for a rest, and I also forgot the link for the points:

Thanks RJ, I think I'm going with the 22's but I will definitely check out the fletching and points. I definitley plan on using a pin nock and I'll be shooting my TT drop away for the time being. I'll probably buy another bow thisyear at some point, and I'll set it up as a target bow.
I really do appreciate all of you guys' input.
