Here's my specs;

Morrison Cheyenne, cut a little over center 66#@31½"

I like a heavy arrow (700gn+) & 200-300gn broadheads. Right now I'm shooting Beeman MFX carbons, full length with 100gn inserts & 200gn points.
I don't want to dick around building or buying new heads, that is absolutley not an option. All I have are screw in 200, 250 & 300 grainers but I have 5 lifetime's supply & that's what I'm sticking with.

I've never shot aluminum arrows before, simply because I can NOT figure out Easton's numbering system. I don't even know where to begin! I know what the numbers mean, I just don't know how to relate them to the correct dynamic spine I need.
I tried going the route of their chart, but shooting heads that weigh twice their maximum recommendation makes it useless.

looks like the best one for you to use is the 300 spine series in aluminum..heaviest in the spine catergory

As the rest have said,AT LEAST a 2219 for your weight and especially your draw length.What I do now is stick 4" of hardwood dowelling up the front(lightly sand 5/16",fit perfect)to make them even tougher.Hot melt the dowelling ,the same as your inserts.
Quote from Howard Hill.( Whenever he taught someone to shoot) "Son make up your mind right now if you want to target shoot or hunt as theres a world of differance between the two"

Another vote for 2219's. That is what I shoot with 125 grain heads out of 71# bows and they shoot great. As already said they are a heavy, tough shaft that will take a lot of abuse. Another benifit of 2219's is you can find them just about anywhere, if someplace stocks aluminum arrows, they will have 2219's.
