Whats a good arrow to hunt with?

[hunterrcc]

I am new to archery hunting and shooting.  i have just been shooting some old easton arrows with an old compound bow until now.   I picked up an older Matthews bow SQ2 60-70lbs 30" draw to start hunting next year maybe for elk/deer.  What is a good arrow to shoot for hunting at an average price range (don't need anything to special since I am going to be practicing alot this spring and summer and don't want to ruin an expensive set of arrows but would like something that I could use still hunting) and/ or where do you find the best prices for archery gear near Tacoma area?  thanks

Berman ICS hunters in a 340 are a great start.

I have had great luck with goldtip. The expeditions are not to spendy and will serve you just fine. I ran the xt's for years and have been running the pro's now.

those are what i use and am quite happy with them, not sure if you can beat the price point and performance. cabelas carbon express are a solid arrow as well

thanks guys.  Did they switch the Wholesale sports over to Sportsmen yet in Federal Way?  Isn't he the guy off Waller that sell the game birds?  Thanks

carbon express maxima hunters in 350 , with the weight forward design and 100 grain points they will shoot great and be right at the legal limit with your draw length . if you want a heavier set up i'd go with fmj's .

Used Bemans when I first started.  Not a bad arrow for the price.  I changed up to Easton Axis which are a higher price point.

I dont quite understand this statement.
The regs says your arrow must weigh 300 grains or greater.
With a 100gr broadhead, knock, insert, vanes he's starting off right around 115 grains, give or take?
Leaves him with an arrow choice of 200 grains or more.  200/30=6.66, so any arrow that weighs over 6.6 grs/in will work for him, correct?  Those maxima 350 weighs 8.9grs/in.  8.9*30=267.  plus 115 = 382 grs. Well over the legal limit of 300. 
Is this correct?  I'm very new to this legal weight thing and just making sure I am understanding it and how it works.  Am I on the right track and thought process?

[D-Rock425]

The law is 300 grain minimum or 6 grains per pound of draw weight.   A 70# bow must shoot a 420 grain arrow.6x70=420

[92xj]

So, the maximas arent legal for his set up?

[92xj]

The law is 300 grain minimum or 6 grains per pound of draw weight.   A 70# bow must shoot a 420 grain arrow.6x70=420

You say "300 grain minimum or 6 grains per pound of draw weight."  "Or" means one or the other, correct?  So as long as its over 300 grains and over 20" in length he would be legal, by this sentence.  Right?

beman ics, or goldtip,either of those are a great starting or hunting arrow. there is no way you will under the legal weight limit with either arrow!happy hunting.
