Your arrow choice

[Dry Bones]

I realize the season has started and it's past time to settle in and stay the course. HOWEVER. Since I am still trying to get all the newness wore off the hummingbird, and still experimenting with arrow spine and weight.
WHAT ARROW DO YOU SHOOT?
Brand, spine, point weight, and bow draw weight at your draw please.

It's always amazing to me how many different combos come up within and slot poundage range.

I have two different arrows currently.
Gold Tip Nugents 500 spine cut to 29" with 100 grain brass and 145 grain heads for my 51# longbow

Currently liking GoldTip Traditionals 600 spine cut to 29" with standard insert and aluminum sleeve with same 145 grain point weight. 43# recurve

Black Eagle Vintage fan. I'm shooting 500s out of my Widow and I have some 400s I'm going to set up for my big Jim Thunderchild. 175 grains up front.

44 lb bow at 29 inches 500 spine with 125gr magnus

I turn my own wood arrows out using a two stage dowel maker. I make them out of many different woods, cherry, maple, white pine and most anything else with a straight grain. I also foot some of my arrows, which is a pain, but they look nice. I brought back some mesquite one winter from Texas and have used it for footing an arrow.

I also use stone points most of the time and self bows. Although I used a recurve and aluminum arrow two weeks ago to take a Michigan black bear.
