Hello! I'm new to archery and i have a question. What size arrow/tip should i use? I have a 50lb draw and a 30 in draw length. The rest i have looks like a plastic flipper thing that fips out to hold the arrow. Its kinda starting to rip plastic vanes.. any advice would be AWESOME!

@TobyIstKuhl We would recommend arrows in the 500 spine cut to 30" with a 125 grain point. You will also want to use feathers rather than vanes on traditional equipment because they fold down when they contact the rest. Also you'll want to consider removing the flipper rest and shooting from the shelf off the Bear Hair Rest and plate.

I shoot a 400 carbon arrow with a 80grain tip. I was wondering what is the best to use im currently using 4 inch vanes are they too big?

@bluelagoon10023 We would need to know what your draw length is and information on the bow you are using before we could offer any recommendations. Feel free to call our Tech Line at 866-587-9501 for more information.

@3RiversArchery ITS A 60LBS dram and a 30 inch draw, sorry I cant ring I live in the uk

@bluelagoon10023 The vanes should be fine. However, if you are noticing your arrows are weak, you may consider trying a 340 carbon arrow.
