        I am familiar with 45-50 , 50 -55 ratings on wood arrows , not 500 spine.
        is there a chart translating spine to choosing arrow based on draw weight?

          500- 35-55#
          400- 50-65#
          340- 65-80#
          300- 65-80#

          Strait out of the 3rivers catalouge, listed under the Beeman ICS bowhunter shafts. But that list is standard for Easton and Beeman shafts, and other shafts that are spined the same way! Dont understand why carbon express does it differently? Or why easton aluminum shafts are half this way and half another way!

          I personally have the 500’s and would actually recomend that you get like the 400’s and leave them longer, because normally the 500’s are light, what shaft are you looking at/have?

            Thanks,, I was window shopping the 3 rivers catalog last night ,, duh , that how they measure carbon arrows, I didnt know that.
            I have no interest in carbon arrows. I like wood arrows, but I think I will get the glue on adapter so I can use screw in heads . Itll add 50 grains , then I can use 100 grain points.

            I have a mixed bunch of arrows. I put Eskimos on 5 woods that shoot good,and the same with my bow.
            Im just trying to gather info ,, so when I can get a dozen , I get the right thing. Those 78$ Hunter arrows {wood} in the 3R catalog look pretty good.
