        I’ve recently purchased a black widow MA2 with 56lbs @31 draw. I have been told to use heritage 350 arrows which are 12 grains per inch. Thats a heavy arrow and I was wanting to have some speed. I would like to shoot a comfortable size arrow with the spine and weight suitable for my setup and have good arrow flight. Any suggestions? Thanks

          Carbon Xpress 350’s are heavy and they would be way over spined for your bow weight. The 250’s or even 150’s would be better.

          Being heavy shafts, they are hard to get much FOC with. But they are very tough shafts. There are lots of good arrows out there…

          Gold tip makes a good, fairly light, not too expensive arrow. If you want wood grain, then their traditional arrows look good. If you are willing to go with black, then their arrows are pretty light.

          Speaking of light, the carbon tech white tails are a bit lighter than the gold tips…

          Bottom line, whatever arrows you decide on, look at the manufacturers arrow chart and make sure you pick a spine that matches your bow (recurve), weight(56) and draw (31)

            The CE is a tuff arrow,

            I am shooting similar weight at 32″ using Beman MFX 340 and love them so far. Add the collars from 3rivers and all of your 5/16s stuff will work well with them.

            I have 210gn. point pluss insert with 16%+ FOC. I think the shafts are 11.1 gpi.

            Beman also has the black bowhunter shafts .340 spine at 9.3 gpi. I am looking at a set of these for another bow, but haven’t shot them.
