Hey all!
pretty new to archery but It's an addicting thing and great fun    Im thinking of ordering a Maddog midsized longbow around probably 50 - 55 pounds, I'e just checked out the easton and goldtip charts for bare shaft spine selection, thought it was going well but then I saw the huge amount of arrows that were actually on the easton product list .... I am mostly going to do target shooting in my garden and some stumping near my house but maybe even hunt some small game (rabbits and squirrels) from time to time, Im looking for a quick, accurate arrow that is durable enough to withstand stumping and versatile enough to interchange blunt points - field points and broadheads,  Can anyone help me with this?

Easton Traditional Only probably in the 340 and Carbon Express 250 and then just play with the tip weights. I would guess starting around 175 grains.

What's your draw length? When I shoot carbons I shoot Gold Tip Trads. I shoot 50# longbows. With my 27" draw length I cut them 28"'s and 225 to 250 grains up front.

bentpole My draw length is 28.7 inches. So alex your recommending I go for carbon arrows? Iv'e also heard some good things about the easton legacy arrows?

I've been out of archery for a while and when I got back into it about two years ago I found out that most of the aluminum arrows were too short for me that's why I went to carbons. I like them for the most part. If you want to try aluminum and are new to this I would go with the camo easton arrows. You have many more to pick from and the nock is adjustable where as the heritage are glued on a taper. I think they come around 31.5 if you leave them full length you should be able to get by with 2117 or 2216. I found some 2216's long enough for me and I'm having to go pretty heavy up front with 200 or 225. You might be better with the 2117's
