I really like about 20, which means far side of feeder ends up being 25-30, near side, 16-18. I feel it helps a bit if you have to play side winds and with noise.

Easton whiteout arrows

It’s just a typical 6.5mm (standard diameter) shaft that is white…. it’s basically the old Beman ICS arrow I think. Easton is recycling quite a bit IMHO (old arrow with a new name). Good arrows.
