Thanks BG, what you say is very true. Arrow selection is, I admit, not my strong point in archery however. I have been trying to learn how to read the charts and really the only thing that is still hazy is how the arrow numbers are designated - for example the Easton website shows the best arrow choice may be a 2317 or 2419 for my fathers bow setup, so what is the difference between the 2317 and 2419. From what I see on the charts it appears that the 2419 is heavier and has the stiffer spine, correct?

The 2317 is 23/64 in diameter, and.017 thick. The 2419 is, obviously, 24/64 in diameter, and.019 thick. So, the 2419 is gonna be quite a bit heavier and stiffer.
As far as carbons go, I think I, too, would err on the stiff side and go w/ the 300.....depending on how long the arrows are.
