I have the opportunity to get Beman Classic arrows at a very good price.  The problem is I don't know which ones to get.  My bows range from 47# to 55# @25".  What arrow do you recommend I get, the 500's, 400's or 340's?  If possible I'd like to use the same arrow for all my bows.  Thanks for your help.

Mike

The 500s would be your best bet.

Thanks James. Mike.

500's. Start out long, you can insert one arrow, and then pull the nock off and cut off of the back of the arrow. Keep cutting the arrow in 1/2" increments,until you get them flying good. them cut the rest of your arrows to that length.

Do I have to use those spacers up front. Or can I get away without them. Thanks Mike.

Are these Beman ICS Classic or Beman MFX Classic?I too think 500's would be your best choice.I shoot some Beman MFX Classic 500's out of 5 different bows just by changing the point weight and some leave alone.You can do alot with carbons,but like said start out long and trim alittle at a time until you get good flight.What spacers upfront are you asking about?

Mike,my draw and specs are very close to yours,I use the 500s cut to 28in with 100grain inserts and 125gr tips.You will like these arrows alot..ED

They are the MFX Classics. In the 3Rivers catalog it says to use the adapter ring to   provide a smooth transition between shaft and point. Is this really necessary? Thanks Mike.

I think you'll find the 500s a little stiff at your draw length. You'll probably need a couple hundred grains up front as 3dmuzzy indicated.

Depends on your center cut and draw weight.  I can shoot 340s and 400's out of my 58# black swan by changing the point weight.

MCS the adapter ring is not really needed,they make Easy pull points for axis/mfx in 125 and 145 gr. they are designed for a smooth transition to the smaller diameter shaft.Those adapter rings make the transition better with broadheads or 11/32 points.What I did on my MFX 500 Classics was to foot it with a 1" piece of 2020,now any 5/16 point will fit flush.And 5/16 points are availible in so many more weights and makes the end of the shaft very tough.And those adapter rings run about $14 to $16 a dozen,you can foot your shaft for next to nothing with a scrap shaft.

Thanks guys. Mike.

you need 9/32 field points ...from Saunders...they come up to 125 grn and they are working on some 145grn...
