I've had the same experience with footing carbons.I started footing carbons in 2008 and have yet to break a footed Gold Tip.That's pretty cost effective.

Easy......Wally World carbons. You can get them in 29-31". Add a 1/2" of 2117 and good to go. 250 up front and it shoots from 55# up to about 65# at 28".

june is upon us, and so the moulting season begins. it's really fairly easy and straight forward to make yer own fletchings from the ubiquitous omnipresent canada goose feathers. can be done with hand tools, but a belt sander or disc sander will make good fast work.
although the resulting fletchings are gray drab camo in color (and can be hard to find in the grass and bush), they are naturally extremely water repellent. give it a go, and they're FREE.

I made these hill cane arrows recently. They shoot well from my 56#@26" sinew backed osage static recurve. The two with the white fletch are a bit stiffer but should shoot well from a 60# to 65# bow. All are 30" long, have self nocks and weigh between 546gr to 606gr with 125 field points.

Can't get much cheaper than walking down the driveway and cutting some. d;^)

carbons from big jim just glue the feathers on and go of course you will have to play around with point weight but they will loutlast wood so in the long run they are cheaper mho
