Is the expense necessary
«

When shooting my compound I always purchased the most expensive carbon arrows. Now with traditional archery and my max range being maybe 20 yards. Is it necessary to spend 150 a dozen on arrows. Don't really think I will see any differences at those distances. If a cheaper carbon arrow will work what is a few good ones to look at. Also what spines in carbon would work for my setup.

Nope...You should be able to get a couple dozen quality shafts for that money.

The only carbon arrows I have EVER shot are Big Jim's Gold Tip Traditional blems. They shoot great out of any bow I own. Reasonable too.

I'm shooting Easton Traditional Only and they are quality shafts that are cheaper than what you are quoting.

You can get three dozen arrows for the $$$ that you're talking about from Big Jim's.
The Gold Tip 3555 29" with 175gr points should be a good starting point for you at $45 a dozen.

I've bought Gold Tip Expeditions for around $80 per dozen and they're some good shafts. You can also buy 6 for $40 and being carbons they'll last for a while if you don't lose 'em...

Can't go wrong with Gold Tip carbons. For your set-up GT 3555 are perfect, and best of all they are still made in America!!

Gold tips are a great arrow for the money. Besides, you won't be reluctant to about taking a shot you might miss. if you worry about missing - you WILL miss.
Shoot em cheap and shoot without fear.

Many of those most expensive arrows are too light in shaft weight anyway for my short arrows.
I like Beman MFX Classics (carbon with wood finish). If you buy they made up they will cost around $120 though. Of course complete arrows aren't cheap. With $12 broadhead, $1.00, 100-grain insert and the arrow it is really easy to have $23 in each arrow.
Interesting when you compare other things. That's a good deal more than most top quality bowstrings.

My Easton aluminum X7 Eclipse arrows are about $80 for a dozen shafts which I make into arrows.
The X7 Eclipse series are top of the line for aluminum arrow target shooters, but I use this line for bowhunting.
