RE: Heavy carbon wanted for 63#
check out carbon express Terminator XP selects. 60/75s are 10.6gpi...got mine from Lancaster Archery supply
if you can still find them, cx terminator selects ran 11gp for black and 12gpi for camo
cx also makes a few others thats are 9+gpi..
Easton A/C super slims had some weight to them...think 10. something...pricey though
even pricier, Carbon Tech Rhino shafts are 11.5gpi...
alumanums are generally always heavier than the similar carbons..forget but i think they run roughly 12-13gpi..
theres always weight tubes...dont know how they effect spine though...
my finished XP selects 28" long with blazers and 125gr heads are going to run me about 430-440grains. not super heavy...but a bite heavier than most carbons are running..most run 8.5-9.5gpi it seems...

Mauser06 beat me to it and has some better heavier options ^
If he is wanting carbon he needs to look at the camo ones, they usually weigh a little more than the all blacks.
An axis st in Mossy oak or real tree in 400 spine should be plenty heavy enough at 9.8 GPI. If he spines out at 340 he'd be looking at 10.3 gpi.
The full metal jackets are a touch heavier if he would consider a carbon/aluminum arrow.

My friend is shooting aprox. 63 lbs @ 29 inches. He wants to shoot the heaviest arrow possible without having spine issues. Any ideas?

I'm currently using a very similar arrow setup and it flys incredibly well.

Another option for a really heavy carbon would be the Grizzlystik by Alaskan Bowhunting (www.alaskabowhunting.com)
I can't comment on the arrow quality, however the continuous tapered design has been a proven performer in very successful arrows such as Nitro Stingers.

Straightarrow, with a similar setup that you just described, how many fps would you expect?

Now the only thing we are going to have to do with these heavy set ups is is practice with two broadhead targets, they will fly though a yellow jackets. Try that will a fast arrow and a light broadhead!
Oh, BTW using a heavy arrow without a heavy broadheadis asstupid asthinking you are going to hit a ball farther with a light bad, because you can swing it faster. Than a heavy bat that you swing slower!!!! ( no power ) simple law of physics.
