Default Arrow?

If I shoot a 58lb Guardian, 28in draw, 27in arrow, 75gr head and 4in feathers Eastons website says I can shoot FMJ 500s. I might even cut my arrows to 26.5in instead. Are these going to be ok with my setup? Thank You!

Is this for a hunting or target set-up. If for hunting, I'd recommend bumping up to a 100gr tip, and trying something more like and FMJ 460, still gets you around 260fps but you also have 58ft/# of KE, whereas it also ups your FOC from about 6% to 8.8% which will help with BH flight. And with that set-up, I wouldn't recommend a Mechanical set-up, unless it's a small diameter one. You can stay with the 75gr head, and a 500 series and be spined well, but your FOC will be low which will be more likely to result in "flyers."

Thank You! I don't see any FMJ 460 how about 100gr and FMJ 400s seeing how it is a hunting setup?
