when selecting your arrows the flex in the arrow you select to use,
must match the application,
especially if you want to hunt with decent broadheads,
as they are considerably heavier than field tips.
generally, the higher the number on the arrow spine strength chart,
the LESS poundage the bow has that matches that arrow,
look at the charts carefully
the example,
I generally shoot a 31" length draw arrow on an 87 lb bow,
thus I want a spine strength in the 150 or at least a 200 stiffness range
Id buy 2 dozen new carbon shaft arrows, they won't get bent .
(they easily take far more abuse, without being bent or damaged and yeah,
they can be damaged but generally they last far longer and just need re-fletching occasionally)
well worth the extra cost in my opinion, be sure the spin stiffness matches the bow poundage)
I generally shoot a 31" length draw arrow on an 87 lb bow,
thus I want a spine strength in the 150 or at least a 200 stiffness range, this is critical to good results in a hunting arrow selection
The ideal weight of an arrow depends on the draw weight of the bow and the type of archery being done. A general rule of thumb is to choose an arrow point weight that's between 5 and 10 grains per pound of draw weight. For example, if a bow has a draw weight of 50 pounds, an arrow point weight of 250–500 grains would be appropriate.

these seem to be about the best broadheads I've found for elk hunting in decades

get a good grip
on the nearest wall,
before you ask the price at your local archery shop,
on a dozen high-quality, carbon arrows
and you damn sure better own a fletching
kit and dozens,
of spare vanes and glue
your 100% certain to damage the vanes/fletching during practice so be prepared to do repairs on torn or damage vanes!
I generally carry at least 5-8 arrows on a hunt and 7-8 spares in the truck and all your arrows must match for consistent accuracy

*Point Weight = The total combined weight of point, insert, Ballistic Collar and FACT weight.
Step 1: Find your draw and point weight in the chart.
Step 2:
Determine the length of your arrow by measuring from the throat of the nock to the end of the insert.
Step 3:
Find the correct group number in the shaft selection chart.
Step 4:
Find your appropriate spine selection for your bow and use the detail arrow specifications chart on the next page to see which shafts are available in your spine. Arrow length is measured from the throat of the nock to the end of the insert. If you are shooting a longer broadhead than field point, you may want to choose a slightly stiffer shaft.
