im shooting beman ICS hunters and I like them, looking at changing to the easton injexion, they look pretty cool... but spendy

as for the weight i use 340's and they still wouldnt hold up to real high drawback weights

I use the Beenan 340 camo hunter, but they stopped making it.  Remember if you're hunting you need 6 gr / lb of pull, so figure in total arrow weight when picking which arrow to buy.   For me 10gpi matched with 100 gr broad head fletching etc I'm just legal.   
Old enough to know better.
Young enough to go for it.

For hunting I shoot Easton full metal jackets. I prefer a heavier arrow. Cut at 28" and tipped with a 125 grain broadhead. The overall weight ends up being around 470 grains. They penetrate well being shot at 270 fps.

Mines a Mathews Z7 at 70 lbs at 29 inch draw and it seems to shoot best with 300's for arrows, 125 grain broadhead, with 3 degree helical blazers.  I shoot Beman MFX.  They out-penetrate the larger diameter arrows and in theory would be less affected by wind.
