Default arrows?

I am new to this sight. I am going to buy some new arrows either today or tomorrow, I have never purchased arrows before. I have a 28" PSE Thunderbolt at 60lbs. I am brand new to archery and am clueless. I don't mind spending anything under 100.00, I am not that proficient yet so I am not worried about getting the best equipment. Also what type of broadhead will I want for whitetail.Any help would be much appreciated.

The Beman ICS Hunter and Black Max are both under 80/dozen at my local pro shop. I use the ICS Hunter, and a good friend of mine uses the Black Max. Both are good arrows. As far as broadheads, Muzzy's are always a good choice. I use Thunderheads. I should say I carry Thunderheads, as I have not had the chance to use them yet. They are also a good, inexpensive option.

everyone has their favorites. for the money i think carbon express arrows cannot be beat. i paid 70$ for a dozen Terminator XP Select shafts. tolerances are great. price is pretty much unmatched for the tolerances and the carbon composite design is supposed to make them really durable.

broadheads? cant go wrong with most of them these days...id shy away from the really cheap "walmart specials" just because they probably arent built real good etc...i personally shoot a 3 blade Muzzy broadhead. proven time and time again by millions of hunters...

Gold Tip XT Hunter ... one of the best arrows on the market for straightness and durability.

It's a good arrow for what you pay. I really wanted Carbon Express Maxima Hunters when I was buying, but I dropped soooo much on the bow set up, I had to skimp somewhere.
