    I have a 55 lb. Draw weigh. I want to know what arrows will shoot the furthest. I don't plan on spending more than $60. What is the best grain tip to use?

    Farthest? How about worry about accuracy, then speed, then you can worry about trying to snipe a squirrel at 200 yards... :D

    You need to refrase the question so we know what your expectations are.

    My draw length is 28", I'm looking for which will fly the furthest while still being able to kill a whitetail deer.

    You need a rifle... Bowhunting requires getting close and making accurate shots.

    Easton Flatline 400 7.4 gpi. A bit on the light side for speed, still pack a punch at 30 yds. Consider a 3 blade cut on contact broadhead such as g5 montec or nap hellrazor, as soon as the arrow hits it will start to cut for greatest penetration.
