I shoot Avance and am very happy with them, however before anyone can recommend an arrow shaft or help with what might be going on, it is important to include what length and point weight your current arrows are.

 

Currently, I'm shooting Black Eagle Interprid 700 spine.

• Black Eagle M-ST nock and 70-90 grain break off point
• Straightness tolerance: +/- .006
• Weight tolerance: +/- 2 grains
• Arrow length - 27 1/4 " (27 quarter inch)

 

If your Intrepid points have the full 90 grains, you would probably be closer to needing an 800 spine with those limbs and a shorter draw length than the 28” standard for measurement. It would be helpful to measure your actual draw weight OTF (off the fingers) to calculate.

 

Exactly! That's why I'm shopping for new set of arrows.

According to some other forms, people are suggesting Victory VAP v1 arrows/ Carbon Expresses Nano/ BE x-Impact shafts for x10 replacement.

If you have any suggestion on choosing the right arrow for my specific case would be really appreciated.

 

Easton Avance comes in spines from 2000 to 320 (the higher the number, the weaker the arrow). You should be able to find the right spine for your arrow. The spine range is suggested based on variability like point weight, center shot, plunger tension, and the archer's form, specifically the release. BTW, I also have shot the Avance and Avance Sport. Both are solid arrows. I have not noticed a great difference between those models.

It is tricky to suggest a specific spine. What is the poundage on your fingers with your limbs? Also, can you cut your arrow yourself? If you can, then you can change the spine by cutting down full length shafts fairly easily. Like Flyinhawaiian said, probably in the 800 spine range may be good.

Right, I know what spine to shoot it is just that which brand of arrow should I purchase with budget. I shoot I got ~30.5 lbs and 27 1/4" drawlength. I bet there should be other brands outside of Easton which could give similar quality but, in a budget. Could you suggest any such brands?

 

Hi Shashankk, I'm interested: what did you buy in the end and are you happy with it?
I'm also shooting exactly same arrows right now: Intrepid 700 spine and looking for something better for recurve indoor target shooting - eyeing out Skylon Brixxon and Easton X7 but can't find any good recommendations to make final decision

 

I purchased Victory VAP v1 arrows. They are within the budget and I like the arrows. The problem currently I'm having is that the spin vanes keep tearing because of clearance issue and it needed so much of tuning and tweaking and expert guidance. Fletching spin vanes is really time consuming and complicated job for me. I didn't needed any of that with Black Eagle.They are stable and really good arrows.

Hi, not sure if you solved this issue, but your post mentioned that your bareshafts were hitting left......if you're a right handed archery, you might consider a weaker spine (higher number) if you're happy with your current point weight.

 

I recall seeing a comment from a nationally ranked Olympic style shooter that this could be your plunger distance (how far in or out) or tension not being correct. This may help

 

I have gold tip warrior, so I’m looking into a new set soon. Thanks for the thread.

 

Just refer to Easton's spine chart to figure out which arrow spine to get.

You only need to know your bow poundage on the fingers (at full draw) and the arrow length (not your draw length). For example, if your bow is 32# when fully drawn and your arrow is 32" long (uncut arrows are typically this long), then you would want a 525 arrow spine. You probably won't find an arrow in that exact spine so you can just use that as a ballpark figure. You could get a 500 spine 32" arrow and use a heavier point (i.e: 125 grain point) as that will weaken the spine a bit or you could get a 600 spine 32" arrow cut it down to 31" or less to strength the spine.

At the intermediate level, I wouldn't really worry about being a bit over or under spined. If you know how to tune your bow/arrows, it's something you'll adjust for and if you don't know how to tune then it's not worth thinking about.
