    I hunt with barebow recurves and longbows in the 50-60lb bracket (a little heavier at my draw length), and buy shafts from Archery Direct or Abbey Archery in Oz. Gold Tip Hunters, .340 and .300 spine (I like heavy, quiet arrows 550gn+, 10GPP+). I then make my own buying inserts, broadheads and fletching bought here.

    At my draw length this dynamic spine calculator works out fine for a basic sketch, then I bareshaft tune 5/10/15/20m. When they fly dead straight, I fletch and they shoot like darts, dead quiet.

    If kids are abusing them, then I'd suggest a dozen aluminium arrows for them to play with. They can't fracture the way carbon does, potentially leading to you injuring yourself.
