Toughest arrow for the money

Homebru,
I shoot the Forrester shafts quite a bit.  Red Balau and the mahogany exclusively.  They are great!  Very durable and the nice thing is they are heavy...which I like.

I agree with the cane/bamboo being inexpensive, but there is work involved.  If you like diy projects, cane/boo is hard to beat.

Carbons, as a general rule will outlast anything else. But, I have not tried cane, and this has got me thinking.

x2 on CX Heritage.  I have lots of damaged woods, aluminum and carbons of various makers, but very few broken CX Heritage. Good luck on your journey till you shoot CX Heritage you will see.

I foot all my carbons. I have found a way to break them. Concrete slab that the carpet bales sit on at range where I shoot. Usually from long range. I have not broken any on natural materials like rocks or trees.

Cane or bamboo. Dog fir next.

All time toughest has to be  Monty Browning's solid fiberglass arrows - 'course he was shooting them out of a 90 lb longbow, I think.

X3..4..5..
GT blems are fine shafts-used them often.  But to YOUR actual question and specs - Heritage will be hard to beat.

Ash, Hickory, Birch, well under 100 and very tough wood. Dont have to deal with weights or footings, etc.

Tapered Ash or tapered Maple.
