I know this type of question has been asked before and often. I did some searching, but I'm either too lazy or... well maybe just too lazy.
I have shot wood arrows for years and now want to set up the following bow with carbons. I'm thinking I want to try the 5mm diam. arrows and leave them full length.
My bow: a 66" 55#@28" Fox Archery Triple Crown. The bow is cut to center and my draw length is just slightly over 28 inches.
I'd like to shoot this bow for 3-D next year and also transition it to be my Elk hunting setup for next near. I'd like to have my arrows run about 10gr/lb or 550 gr. total weight. I usually shoot a 160 gr. broad head. I could probably drop back to 145 gr. to make the transition easier.
Sooooo... What kind of Carbon Arrow setup should I start with???

A .400 Easton Axis should shoot well for you given your parameters, and should come pretty close to 550 grains.

300 grain tips gives them some soul. Hit blows. Go 6mm with a proper insert.

Merry Christmas to you. I'd start out with a .400 full length and a 160 grain BH plus a 125 gr adaptor. Shoot the BH with a field point and a 285 grain pt. If they impact together you're done. Right handed - BH left stiff, BH right weak.
Don't worry about the weight until you're tuned.

When I left the carbon world 300 grain tips was my go to tip no matter the spine. Makes the bows znd arrows work better imo. Hidddn insert technology (hit) is crap imo. Either go 6mm with a conventional insert brass or alumium or go 4mm with outserts.

CR, What don't you like about the HIT stuff. I've been using it for several years and have had no problems.

Try a dozen Victory V-force 245 'sport.' A whole $60 for a dozen shafts. They use common .244-.245 components, 'S' size nocks.
Be warned, the graphics are hideous, but they're a cheap intro to carbons and shoot fine. I just ordered another dozen myself.

All I use are the Easton Axis Traditional arrows. I was thinking for your setup that I would start out with some 500 shafts and go from there. Good luck and have fun.

I like Axis trads too.Lancaster will sell single shafts so you can order a couple different spines and see what works best for you.
