We will need alot more info. What is the draw weight of your bow? What is your draw length? What size head are you planning to shoot?

I think my draw weight is 70lbs with 28 1/4 in draw length. I'll be shooting 100grain field points, and 100grain Spitfire broadheads.

P.S. What do you think about the "HIT" inserts???

I will be using it for deer hunting. My budget is nothing really expensive.

I use the HIT inserts. I shoot Easton Axis STs and I recently got some of the Beman MFX ST arrows. I have been shooting ST arrows for 3 years and see no reason to change. I would recommend them if they are in your price range. Check the Easton chart to find out for sure but I believe a 340 spine is what you need. Also, you said you "think" your DW is 70#s. Get to a bow scale and find out for sure. Its important to know to get the properly spined arrow.

What is the least gpi Icould shoot witha 70lb bow??? Right now I'm shooting 8.4 gpi. I would like to shoot something a little lighter. Do you think that I could shoot 7gpi. without hurting my bow.

Why do you want to go lighter? Just curious, I keep thinking about going heavier for better penetration.
