350, definately the 350, and not just one doz, but at least 5 doz. In fact get as many as possible.

Is there a reason i should get 350 over 250?

Well, because its a much larger number. Thats always good, except in blood pressure and gambling debts.

Ok, slick. How about we start with the bow your using, including model and year, draw wieght, draw length and planned heads to use. Then we can tell you more info.

:guiness:I almost choked on my coffee, that was classic!

Back to the question, neither! You need CX 200's.. the others are too stiff for your set up.

But then what if i get my draw weight set to 70lb? will that not affect it?

Then go with the 250's.. I have a lot of different bows, and even some set a longer draw lengh, I buy arrows for each bow. Rarely do I use the same arrow out of two bows because they are not always the same set up. I use different bows for different things.

At 60lbs with that bow, get the 250's and cut to 30". and really for optimal spine, I suggest raising wieght to 63-65lbs.

If you want to move up to 70lb, cut the arrow to 28" and you are good to go. This is all with 100gr tip.

Shorter the arrow, the stiffer reaction, need more draw weight, longer the arrow weaker reaction, need less draw wieght.

With your 27" draw, 350's are too stiff in either case.

No, Just what you want to do is have them cut sorta long if you are aiming at 60lbs draw wieght. And then if you change your mind and raise poundage to 70lbs, you can cut to 27-28".
