Help needed to pick arrow shafts

[fox lake]

hi, I have two bows I'm trying to figure out what spine  and brand arrows I should buy  for them. It seams with my longer draw it will not leave much arrow to work with.
The bows will used for hunting and I would like to shoot Carbon arrows  Around the 600 grain range.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks.

(I think i need 500spine arrows but not sure?)

Bow one is a bear Montana 50# longbow 62"
Bow  two is a hoyt buffalo   50#  recurve. 60"

My true draw length 29.5 and amo is  31 1/4
Strike plate is Velcro
The Montana measured 60# on bow scale at my draw
The other I have not measures yet.

The arrows I'm leaning towards are  Carbon express
150 with 100 grain inserts and 150-175 gr tips
Will these be too week?

Sorry but I cannot be of much help with Carbon Express arrows...their spine number system is just too confusing to me so I refuse to even consider them...I draw anywhere from 29 to 31 inches depending on the draw weight of the bow...not sure where you got the term true draw length from but it is of little value really...and unless you shoot with a clicker determining your draw length to the half inch is unlikely anyway...sure you can do it with a "posed" draw but shooting a bow is a dynamic process...a friend of mine who is a bowyer and long time bowhunter puts it this way: Your draw length is whatever feels comfortable to you at the moment"

I just got a set of Easton Axis traditionals in 600.  Very nice arrows.

Just fixed a double post

I just realized who should be able to help you...Big Jim shoots about the same draw length...just contact him...he can supply the arrows too

I shoot Carbon Express Blues. I mainly shoot a 50 @ 30 64" Blacktail.  150 shafts seem light.  I used these for my 42 # bow. Pretty hard to get up to 600 gr unless you go to 350s, which I do with 200 gr heads and 100 gr inserts.  Scott

I shoot about the same weight and length you will need 250 with 175- 200 up front  I just shot a AD traditional with 225 point flew very well

I only shoot "girly bows" so I doubt if I would be much help. The Big Jim suggestion is a good one.

My full length ce heritage 150's finish at 530 grains with 50 gr inserts and 125gr heads. You would almost be at 600 with 100gr inserts but I'm afraid they'd spine weak. Go with a 250 instead which is close to .400 spine. The carbon express heritage is a great durable arrow.

Thanks for the replys,
It kinda sounds like 400 spine be good starting point
Maybe a 340 hard to say..with those stiffer arrows I might be able to  shoot Easton fmj 5mm  because there  a little longer than the 500 they sell
Sounds like I just have to shoot to see what they do

I also shoot a 50lb bear Montana. My draw length is 28 3/4 and I shoot the gold tip blem 3555 trads. They're cut to 30.25" and I shoot 200 grain points. Over all weight with a wrap and two five inch feathers is 502gr. They fly perfect for me. Depending on point weight you might be able to shoot a 500 but if your truly getting 60lbs out of yours, a 400 would be best. The 400's would get you to 600grains easier anyway if your dead set on that over all weight. I'd get a shaft or two in each spine and several point weights and see what the bow does. I've had good luck with the carbon express heritage arrows as well as the gt trads but I've only shot the cx 90 spine in that brand.
