The Beman ICS Hunters are good, but you get a lot more feature with the CX Maximas. The Easton Epics are also good, but I still like the CX Maximas better and they are just about the same price.

RE: new arrows? need help
No you can't get just any arrow. You have to match the spine to the specs you are shooting. So here I will give you an example: This is the link to the Gold Tip spine chart (http://www.huntersfriend.com/arrowhelp/gold-tip-arrow-spine-chart.htm), one you open the page you see several different charts, so say you are using a 100gr Field Points and Broadheads, so on that chart you follow the columns. So in your case shooting a 100 gr point at 60# at 28' draw(i am going to guestimate a 29 inch arrow). As you can see gold tip recommends you use a 5575 or 400 spine. Lets try it again with my bow specs -- i have have a 31 inch arrow shooting 68# w/ 100 grain points -- I need 7595 which might be just a tad overspined. On that hunters fiend site you can look at all the different kind of arrows they sell and each brand will have a spine chart where you can look up what they recommend for you. Hope this helped

RE: new arrows? need help
I went onto bassproshops.com to look for arrows for you.
On the high end: I see that they are selling a dozen CX Maximas with blazers for $129.99, which have a straightness of .0025. Pretty darn good. However, I thought that I would also point out that the CX Maxima 3D Selects are also $129.99, which have a straightness of .001, but you will need to pay them to fletch them, should be $2-$3 per arrow for vanes. Feathers are a little more.
Mid range: The Beaman ICS CamoHunters with Blazers are $94.99 a dozen and have a straightness of .003.
I would not recommend anything lower than this.

I personally shoot Gold Tip XT Hunters -- a decent arrow -- great for hunting. They are relatively cheap for a mid grade arrow -- .003 straightness tolerance. I think i got mine on huntersfriend for $63 fo a dozen unfletched. After I got them wrapped and fletched by my own guy I have about $85 in them.

No that was for a dozen man -- bare shaft. I have a guy that Fletches my arrows for me to my desire. I wish I had more money I would buy about 3 more dozen at that price -- 63 on Hun.Friend .... 78elsewhere
