        I have a 175gr broadhead that needs a carbon arrow to go with it. Im shooting a 63# recurve. Any suggestions on an arrow? Thanks for the help!! I shoot 31″ arrows with a dacron string. What im really looking for is a carbon arrow setup with 20 to 25% FOC. for some knockdown power!!

          My vote would be the GrizzlyStik Alaskan shaft by Alaska Bowhunting Supply. todd

            Whats your draw length at 63?
            Fast flight string?
            400’s at 28 in draw borderline weak with your set-up.
            Carbon express Terminators is a tuff arrow.
            Hard to tell you what deflection without more info.

              It depends on how heavy of an arrow you want. I consider myself an expert on carbon, that is basically what I have shot my entire bowhunting career. I have had great luck with Beeman and Easton shafts(same company)! I am currently shooting the beeman ics bowhunters. They are great, and not to expensive. Also probably the best carbon shafts I have ever shot would have to be the beeman MFX classics, wood grain finish, like 11 gpi, but hit inserts, super slim but packs a punch! I have also shot axis arrows, carbon express heritage. The heritage shafts are decent, I just cant stand carbon express inserts, they slide in and out to much! The terminators are okay, kinda brittle? I have not tried gold tip but have heard alot of good about them!

                  I shoot Gold Tips 5575’s They shoot great for me. Love that you can add weight to front with the brass inserts.
