    hey guys, im relatively new to bow hunting and archery in general but so far im in love with it. this may be a total newbie question(for that im sorry) but id like an honest option on arrow selection.

    i shoot a mathews ez7(due to bad shoulders from wresting, it just fits for me) at 60lbs and 29'" draw. id would like an arrow that packs a punch...ive heard FMJ's are a good choice but as i said im a rookie so i honestly dont have a clue. im not in the slightest worried about how fast my bow shoots or if i lose any FPS, if i wanted that i would have bought a speed machine. id like to keep my poundage where its currently at because of my bum shoulder. so, with this set up, what would yall recommend?

    thanks-Austin.

    Just get the correct spine and weight for your poundage via easton arrow chart. Then go and get the narrowest arrow shaft you can find for the ultimate in penetration. I use easton axis st nano with h.i.t
    You wont be disapoited. Slim means more energy to the tip of the broadhead and less drag going through target.

    Fmjs are fantastic! Tipped them with 125 grain muzzys and cant wait to shoot a deer with them. I would say you would need a 400 spine but double check it with the easton chart.
