Im shooting a black widow pch x 48@28 im draw 28.5, and want to shoot carbon express heritage 150's. i want my arrow to have decent weight and higher FOC. would like to be around 600gr. im going to use 100gr brass inserts and a heavy broadhead aroud 200gr like a 3 blade non vented woodsman. Now my question is with this set up my arrows will need to be at least 29- 29.5 or longer. will the 150 be okay? with all the weight up front? i know i will need to tune but i dont want to end up having too short an arrow length. does this sound about rite?

Im just worried about ordering arrows and them being wrong spine.

I think you're right on the edge where a 150 would work and a 250 might be a bit too stiff.  The best thing would be to try both although if you're willing to tinker a bit either arrow can be made to work.

I would think that you would have to have a 250 if you want that much weight up front.

this will be my first time going to a 3 blade and i want a nice heavy arrow to quiet my bow and drive that arrow through. this will be for whitetail.

250's or possibly even a 350 if you are going with  300 or so grains up front.

My 44# PSAX uses CH 250's and my MA 51# uses 350's.

My experience would suggest a 250 with 200 grain points will not get you to 600 grainsat your draw length,.  A 350 my be the solution.  Good luck.

Ditto on the 250, you will never get there with a 150, you arrow will end up too weak with that much up front.
