Hey guys,
I'm contemplating new arrows and wanted your input.
I like the Easton full metal jackets-.
Should I go w the 300 spine it the 340?
(Considering the 5mm),
I'm currently shooting a Schafer silvertip recurve 56#@28.
I pull right at 30 ".
I'm shooting beman centershot 340 w 50 grain insert and 190 tree sharks out front- I'm using full length arrows. Total arrow weight is 610-.
My gpp is 10.2
What is your suggestion? Just trying to get a little more weight, higher gpp, and hopefully quieter bow.
I really appreciate all your suggestions.

Ironically, I have a Silvertip that is 56#@28", and I draw it just a little under 30". I was using mfx classic 340's cut to 30", with a total of 250 grains up front and they were just barely weak. Maybe difference in side plate thickness contributes to this. I would be surprised if you couldn't get away with 300 spine, but others may feel differently.

You could probably go to a 300 and load the front end even more, but I'd have to ask why? You're already shooting a heavy arrow out of a relatively heavy bow. Unless you're going after really large game, you have great plenty bow and arrow.
If you want a quieter bow, you might look to a different string material or different silencing system, maybe a small change in brace height (higher).

A heavier arrow will often quiet the shot...and string composition can affect that as well. Somewhere you will reach a point where you will sacrifice trajectory/speed for "quiet"
