I shoot Beman ICS Hunters. I have a 29", 62# draw on my Mathews. My arrows are 29" 400s. Go to www.beman.com. There is a shaft selection guide. I took a quick look at 70# and you would get 340s or 360s. The beman site also shows you how to measure the appropriate arrow length.

I just bought a dozen of these from my local bowshop and they ran me about $100. But I was recently on eBay and saw them as low as $60 per dozen. Good Luck.

nitro23,

remember that you don't need the arrow to be exactly 350 grains. I actually prefer to use arrows that weigh closer to 400 grains. I use carbon express terminator hunters and have thunderheads on them shooting a bowtech patriot at 68 lbs. Just don't go under 350 grains. Hope this helps. I only have a 27 inch draw length.

Here's the weight of my ICS 400s

29" Shaft 252 gr.
8/32 RPS insert 21 gr.
Easton Super Nock 13 gr.
Field point or broadhead 100 gr.
(3) 4" flectch 14.7 gr.
Total 400.7 gr.

At 250 fps, that's about 55 ft/lbs of Kenetic energy.

The ICS 400s are 8.70 grains per inch, which is borderline. The camo hunters from Beman a little heavier.
