When shooting my compound I always purchased the most expensive carbon arrows. Now with traditional archery and my max range being maybe 20 yards. Is it necessary to spend 150 a dozen on arrows. Don't really think I will see any differences at those distances. If a cheaper carbon arrow will work what is a few good ones to look at.   Also what spines in carbon would work for my setup.

Nope...You should be able to get a couple dozen quality shafts for that money.

The only carbon arrows I have EVER shot are Big Jim's Gold Tip Traditional blems.  They shoot great out of any bow I own.  Reasonable too.

I'm shooting Easton Traditional Only and they are quality shafts that are cheaper than what you are quoting.

I agree with Westbrook and David.  God bless.

Gold Tip Blems from Bigjim,the best deal going.

You can get three dozen arrows for the $$$ that you're talking about from Big Jim's.

The Gold Tip 3555 29" with 175gr points should be a good starting point for you at $45 a dozen.

I've bought Gold Tip Expeditions for around $80 per dozen and they're some good shafts. You can also buy 6 for $40 and being carbons they'll last for a while if you don't lose 'em...  

Looks like I will be getting some Big Jim Blems.

Thanks guys

Can't go wrong with Gold Tip carbons.  For your set-up GT 3555 are perfect, and best of all they are still made in America!!

Gold tips are a great arrow for the money.  Besides, you won't be reluctant to about taking a shot you might miss. if you worry about missing - you WILL miss.

Shoot em cheap and shoot without fear.

X2 on the Traditional Only.

Many of those most expensive arrows are too light in shaft weight anyway for my short arrows.

I like Beman MFX Classics (carbon with wood finish). If you buy they made up they will cost around $120 though.  Of course complete arrows aren't cheap. With $12 broadhead, $1.00, 100-grain insert and the arrow it is really easy to have $23 in each arrow.

Interesting when you compare other things. That's a good deal more than most top quality bowstrings.

I have finally settled on Carbon Express Heritage, very durable.

My Easton aluminum X7 Eclipse arrows are about $80 for a dozen shafts which I make into arrows.

The X7 Eclipse series are top of the line for aluminum arrow target shooters, but I use this line for bowhunting.
