Was out today shooting my 3 Beman test arrows and all I can say is WOW! These things shot great even with the heavy wind we had today. My B.W. is 46# at 28" and the shafts are 500s cut at 29" with 200grs of total point weight. I tried carbons about 10 years ago and couldn't get them tuned to my bow. After what I saw today I believe I'm a convert. I tend to use newer "high tech" equipment with my BW and stick with vintage gear and wood arrows for my vintage
Bear bows. It's the best of both worlds. I can go "old school" or "modern" depending on my mood.

Me too!
8.0 gpi I shoot them out of my 21st Century LoneStar. I've been pretty easy on mine but have been shooting them(original doz.) for years. No problems.
I just tuned my 500 classics yesterday. Bullets! Awesome shafts.
I hunt with them, they make my other arrows seem to light.
Mfx is my personal favorite.Good weight,tuff and small diameter helps to achive good arrow flight even on those windy days. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Love those shafts. Get some old 2020's and foot them witj 1" footings and you will loose way more than you can ever break.
my favorites too. just cant find a reason to shot anything else...
I've shot quite a few different shafts over the years and those MFX are IT! Best carbon on the market IMO.
IMHO-Beman has prefected the arrow shaft!
I've been a Beman MFX Classic fan from the time I shot my first ones. You can skin the finish off of them in tight groups though. Of course that can happen to any shaft. I shoot 600's and 500's out of 44-48# recurves with a 26" draw (27-27.5" arrow)
I shoot a 55# recurve...29 inch draw...like 250 gr up front..size suggestions for the mfx for me?
I LOVE the mfx 500 out of my 2 Holcomb kodiaks. one 47# one 51#, but my 43# and 44# bows love the same spine as well.....JUST A GREAT SHAFT!!!Heartshot...I believe I'd shoot the 400 spine MFX's for that 55#er ....especially with all that point weight. You won't go wrong with these....john
Thx John..that has been the consensus..I'm new to the HIT insert, do they come in different weights??

The MFX Classic now comes with 50-75 grain break-off brass inserts. I use a 100 grain brass insert in mine. Or, you can also use the standard aluminum insert that weighs in at around 16 grains, I think.
Question for you all with experience:
I am looking for opinions for correct MFX spine for my set-up. I shooting a 58" TC by BigJim and want to switch from woodies to carbon. Bow length 58", 52# @ 29". I draw right at 30.5" but am considering cut length of arrow to 31". Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. I am looking at field/practice points to start out with at 125 gr. but realize I could adjust as I need to. Also, I can read a chart but I'm looking for input with folks with hands-on experience for a similar set-up.
Thx in advance, Brian
brian a 400 with 200 to 250 up front
Thx, hadn't thought that I'd need a point that big. I'll give it a try. Any help on who can supply the fletched arrows and tips? I could do a search but again, looking for recommendations.
Thx, Brian

I think 3Rivers would be able to do complete arrows for you. Keep in mind that the brass HIT insert weighs either 50 or 75 grains depending on if you snap off the 25 grain nub on the end. The full HIT insert with a 150 grain screw in point comes to a total of 225 grains on the front of your arrow.
My recurves are all in the mid-50s at my draw length. Uncut 400s with 150 grain points and the full HIT inserts works pretty well for me.
Anyone know the stock length of the MFX Classic arrows?
Thanks
Beaman MFX
Straightness............+/-0.003 inches Length,,,,Weight Tolerance +/- 2 grains
Inside Diameter.......Shaft.......0.200 inches
Shaft 340....Point Size 9/32".....BAR #6....Shaft Weight......11.2 Gr/inch....Length....32"
Shaft 400....Point Size 9/32".....BAR #5....Shaft Weight......10.4 Gr/inch....Length....32"
Shaft 500....Point Size 9/32".....BAR #5....Shaft Weight........9.7 Gr/inch....Length....31"
Shaft 600....Point Size 17/64"...BAR #3....Shaft Weight........8.0 Gr/inch....Length....30"
WOW...that was quick...thanks a bunch!
One more question...can you put five inch feathers on them without problems?
Thanks again
you could put 3 but if they are fairly well tuned 4" would prolly be a little better IMO.
I would suggest a 400 with 200 + up front at least. You can get that with the 75g brass inserts that come with the shafts and a 125-175g
pt.
Yes you can get the 5" feathers on those. We also offer complete arrows by beaman, easton, CX and Goldtip fletched by us and inserts installed here too.
thanks,bigjim
Can you use 4 fletch on these arrows or are they to small.
thanks
doug77
Boy, it'd be close Doug....I bet you could do it with a Bitz jig. Hopefully someone will come on here who's tried.
Car54, you'll have no problems with 5" feathers.
I use a bitz jig and use 4" 4 fletch @ 90 degrees.
Cobie
They're all I shoot!

Yep fletched mine up with 4-3in Gateway shield feathers at 90 degrees and they shoot like bullets! Love the setup.
