I always order my arrows from Hunters Friend.
Here is a good chart to get your correct spine

Then you can go here and pick what you want

I shoot the Beman ICS Hunters, pre-cut to my needed length and I order bare shafts. Then I do the NAP shrink wraps because I do not like to refletch. Some people enjoy it, I hate it
Be sure to read this first

I appreciate the help guys!
Im looking at all of the links now.
Remember that when you are looking at these charts you are using the arrow length.. not your draw length.. and not the length including tip.. just the length from the nock grove to the insert.
Shooting a 28" draw and 60# bow any .400 spine arrow should work good..
Weight of the completed arrow is something you can really get technical with or not care about one bit.. they all work.. some are straighter than others but most people cant shoot good enough to tell the difference between a .006, .003 or a .001 straighness
CONSISTANCY is more important in that all your arrows weigh the same and have the same spine.. One of the BEST sources for your arrows is Jerry at Southshore archery http://www.southshorearcherysupply.com/index.php
I use Carbon Xpress Aramid KV 350,
I also use C X Maxima Camo hunter in 350
My other set up I use Easton Axis N Fused in 400
They are not cheep but you get what you pay for!
They are great arrows and fly true.
Good luck.
Some very knowledgable people have done some serious testing on a lot of shafts for consitancy and actual spine ratings.. GOLD TIP came in as one of the worst...
Here is what one of the testers said
The 6 top shafts are:
Easton ACCs, ACC Pro Hunters, Full Metal Jackets, Carbon Express Blue Streak Selects, Carbon Tech Cheetah 3Ds and Harvest Time HT-2s.
If I were asked to pick just one shaft that in my opinion is the best hunting arrow ever made hands down it would be Easton ACCs.
They meet the criteria listed above very well, the spine is tight, weight is tight, little or no back bone and are guaranteed by easton to be .002.
Many times over the last year I have made comments on Harvest Time HT-2s. The thing that to me is impressive is the quality exceeds the price. These are the only arrows on my list of six that sell for less than $100, to me that is very impressive.
and another
Harvest Time arrows (Muddy) are extremely consistent and well made.
Easton for the most part is consistent and well made.
Carbon Express is pretty good also.Top shafts FOR ME.......HT-2's and Easton ACC Pro-Hunters.
