What draw weight are you shooting and how long is your draw length?

If you have a formula, I have the same question! My draw weight is 74 lbs and draw length is 33", what would you reccomend?

I have already decided to stick with my Slick Tricks, but am replacing my 1" Standards with their 1 1/8' Razor tips and want the best Shaft to go along with them. Thanks!

I haven't used them yet but I replaced my old arrows with carbon express maxima reds, there are only two spines so you fit into one or the other. Easy to figure out. People seem to like them too, just have to try them myself.

I'm using Carbon Express Maxima Reds as well, i hated them at 1st until i realized my bows timing was out.....i did have 2 out of the dozen that shot like crap though and that was annoying, the other 10 gave me the hitting power and true line that i expected though.

Just go to the website for the brand of arrow and use the adjusted draw weight table to get your adjusted draw weight and the use that to figure out the spine you need. It'll be either in the box itself or with the adjusted draw weight table. Here's the one for the macima reds
