    I suck with any numbers and arrow stuff.

    My bow DL will be at 27", 55#

    I usually go with 27" arrow carbon to carbon.

    can someone recomend me a decent 6 pack of arrows, size/grains all that happy stuff, for around $60?

    Gold tip Hunter XT 400 cut at 27” with 125g head would get you around 400g.

    I second the Gold Tip XT Hunters, really solid arrow at a decent price point.

    I'm still shooting my CX Piledrivers. Have been a great arrow for me. Rarely ever break or damage one. It is there heavier arrow and cheaper then most of there line up. I think you can find pre fletch 6 packs for between $50 - $60.

    Joe check out Eders.com. Sign up for there buyers club, it's free. It will give you great prices. Those CX Piledrivers arrows I mentioned above, you can get them for $47. They have hundreds of other arrows also.

    Those things are great looking! They also did a special run of Autumn orange color like the old aluminum arrows. I almost ordered them just because of the color! Haha

    Joe, I've got some arrows left over from my days before the devil bow, some have never even been shot. I'll look when I get home and let you know what they are. If you're interested, they are yours for the shipping.

    Blessings...........Pastorjim

    You could just beef up the tip weight to make it spine correctly....add like 50 extra grains to the front to make it spine for your bow. Be like a 450 to 500 grain arrow with 150 grains or so up front. Better foc as well.
