Oh no I have never really bought anything from them, i just take my bow there to get worked on (DLoop, peep, just the little stuff) Since i don't have a press.
I think Christine is asking because I wouldn't buy your arrows there unless they give you better service/take you seriously.
No I will not be buying my arrows from them, they have crap selection and only sell pre fletched arrows.
I say screw them, and shame on them for not taking more intrest in getting the youth more involved in the sport. Find another pro shop that will take the time with you no matter what your age is. Good luck and let us know how things turn out.
You know, if you were wanting to buy bare shafts, I bought my XT Hunter's in camo for like $8.50 an arrow at AlpineArchery.com. Check it out. I think you can save a little money.
XT Hunter's cut, not fletched on huntersfriend.com are 70.77 to my door. I wrap and fletch for all my buddies and that is the best deal I have found on them. They are like 64 before shipping. I'm no expert, but I was in your situation (on the border between 5575/7595) a few years back, I went to the stiffer side knowing that at some point I might want to shoot them out of a more aggressive cam bow or up my tip weight or up my poundage. Leave em long if you are worried about the stiffness, at least that way you have options. (Cut down if not stiff enough, sell, etc) AND you will get the extra weight you are looking for. (2 inches= like 18 grains.) Just my opinion. Either way, save some coin and hit up huntersfriend.com.
This was with the 5575 (.400) shaft. I checked Archer's Advantage and OT2 and both of those put you in optimum spine with a 28" shaft, 125 grain tip. You would have a 14% FOC and an arrow weight right at 400 grains. You should get an arrow speed somewhere around 260fps and a KE around 63flbs. This was with the 7595 (.340) shaft. You could also move up to the 7595 but you would likely need a 30" shaft and a 50 grain insert along with the 125 grain tip. That would give you 16%+ FOC and an arrow weight right at 470 grains. You would get an arrow speed somewhere around 250fps and a KE around 67 flbs. So, yes you are in between but it is not just a matter of changing shafts and keeping everything else the same. For myself, I would go the 7595 route.
