Default Beaman ICS Carbons?

Does amyone shoot thease arrows? I've lost a few of my Easton XX75 in the past week. Plan on picking up some probally this weekend. Im shooting a Browning Backdraft its a year or 2 old with new limbs. Im pulling 70lbs with a 29 inch draw. The guy on the Cabelas site told me that I would need a 400 series. Thanks

Chris

I shoot the beman 400s I use a 63 lb pull and 28 inch long arrows.They shoot like darts in my rig. I also use feathers with a slight offset.They are pretty good arrows. I like the back, not the camo.Makes em easeir to find

The 400's may do you well and the 340's may also be the spine your bow prefers. Hard to say which one to start with.
At 70#, 29" draw I'd lean towards the 340's.
Go to the beman website & plug in your info & see what they recommend.

Good arrows. Quite tough and good shooters. The only problem I had with them was the smooth finish. I had a hard time getting good vane adhesion.
I agree with Dave.....you are right on the border of the 400 and 340. Better to be a tad overspined than under.

Acetone & gel superglue haven't let me down yet.......

SureI loose a vane hear & there, but only if they go all the way through my bag target.

I shot the ics hunter 400's for years with no problems. I shoot acc's now but really don't know why I changed except for the face that this is what bow hunters do.

At 70# and 29 inch draw the 340's would definitely be the better spine for you. As to getting fletchings to adhere to the slicker surface what I always did was take some 220 sandpaper and just sand the arrow shaft where your fletching would go and then you will have no problems. I used to shoot them also and they are a very good shaft for the price.
