My setup is 50lbs on a 60 inch recurve. My draw length is 26 inches, if I get the Beman MFX Classics what size should I get 340, 400 or 500?

RE: Traditional Carbons
My Beman MFX Classics offered by Cabelas are the best. I have my 400's at 29.5 inches on my #50Tomohawk longbow and they shoot terrific. I put 140 grain Magnus two blades on to drop the spine a bit. I also shot them from my #55 Bear Takedown with 125 grain heads and again they outperformed every other arrow I shot, even the A/C/C's. Be sure to spin every arrow as the hidden inserts will still wobble occasionally.

Hey Rob, have you killed anything with the Silver Flame heads yet??? They seem like the real deal!

RE: Traditional Carbons
I just got the shafts yesterday and got them bare shaft tuned. 30", 150 grain point, 15% FOC, finished weight should be about 610 grains with 5" feathers and a cresting wrap. I'll update with pics once I get them crested, fletched and fine tuned this weekend. The shaft taper is a lot more severe than I had anticipated; very interesting arrow.
