Ready to tune my bow, arrow advice please

[Jethro21]

I got into trad archery a little more than a year ago. I read and re-read the numerous first bow posts and the advice given, started with a lower poundage bow and worked my way up. I followed advice I often saw given and didn't worry about perfectly tuning arrows to get optimal flight until my form was consistant......I am there. I purchased a Bear Takedown Hunter a few months ago, worked with it til I can hold around 10 secs and still group well at 25 yrds. It is 60", 55@28. I tossed around some cheap arrows I bought until I am now ready for new ones.

So here is my question, what arrow should I start with for tuning? I am drawing 31 3/4" and my bow is #62-63 at that length. I am pretty firm on shooting carbon or aluminum. I am shooting 175gr heads, but would be willing to go down to 145gr heads.

Please help me out here,

Jethro

Beeman MFX 340 at full length would be perfect. I'm shooting the exact same draw-weight, with a 30" draw admittedly, & I shoot 250gn up front with 100gn inserts.

With the extra power of your longer draw, I would say that a 100gn insert & 145 or 175gn point would be right on the money  

The skinny shafts (either Beeman or Easton) are definately worth the extra bit of money. They make your bow a little closer to centre shot & that makes tuning a little easier.

Are the beman 340's and goldtip 5575's the same spine?

The 340's are a touch stiffer, but not much at all. They're a far easier to tune.
