Beman MFX question

What do you recommend for a 54#@28" recurve drawn to 28.5" using full length shafts in the Beman MFX series? Looking at the shaft recommendation chart I'm getting a recommended spine of 340 or 300 depending on if I include the weight of the HIT insert which I assume I should. The MFX doesn't even come in a 300. I was going to order 400s, but then looked at the chart and now I'm not sure...
This seems pretty stiff compared to what I've been using. I have had good results with 30.5" ACCs, 3-49 (400) spine with 175gr points.

I shoot a 55# zipper sxt. I'm shooting the .400 easton FMJ's and just bought 400 mfxs. With the FMJ's I was shooting 175 grn heads with a 100 grain brass adapter, 29 1/4" arrows. My draw is just over 28".
I'd say the 400's would be your ticket.

I tried the 340's and 400's in my longbows, and the 400's shoot the best. My arrows are 31" BOP and my bows are 53# @ 28" and 55# @ 28" I draw 29.5 and the 400's fly the best out of both bows. I think you should go with the 400's as well.
Good Luck

I get good arrow flight with 30" 500's with 225 grains up front from bows from 50 lbs to 55 lbs.

Thanks for the help. I'll give the 400s a try.

I draw 60# at 27.5" on my Schafer. If I use the .400's with 100 grain inserts and a 150 head, with the shaft at 29" it shoots pretty good. Heavy enough too, that setup is right around 550 grains.
It took me a while to realize the way to bareshaft those is to leave them long with the inserts epoxied in... Then to shorten it, take it off the nock end.

Hope far is the shelf cut in? That will make a difference. I would think 400's would be perfect. You can change point weight and arrow length enough to make then fly right.

I shoot Beman 500's at 28in with 200-225grs of tip weight depending on which bow I am shooting. I can also shoot the 400 shaft at 30in with the same setup. I would suggest going with the 400's and heavy insert unless you plan on shooting a ligth weight insert in the 500 shaft.
