But be warned the economy arrows are rarely ever fletched properly for good consistent flight in all weather conditions.
What do you mean by "in all weather conditions", Rad? :dunno:

A well tuned arrow indoors will shoot consistently day in day out.  Rotational stability means very little and even FOC doesn't mean all that much.  But add wind, updrafts, heavy rain, frozen ice pellets, water on the arrow...it takes it's toll on accuracy.  To reduce the effects these conditions have on an arrow it's important to address two things; Good FOC / store more energy in the front half of the arrow.  And Good rotation / Gyro stability.  If those two things are addresses well the arrow will resist planing or being driven off course when the friction of mother nature attacks!

Radsav, What arrow would you recommend for a Parker Phoenix EZ Draw bow with 28.5" draw length and 70# draw weight?
Also, same set-up, but with a 29" draw length?

Also, which grain tips would you recommend?
When I used my old set-up, I used Easton aluminum fall stalker 2117s with 125 grain broad heads.
These would be for hunting, not competition shooting.
Thanks.
