Is the arrow chart accurate?
No....
It's just a starting point....
Could someone offer me a suggestion then...I'm using the Samick Predator [60 @ 28"]with a draw of 26.5. Before I spend anymore money on arrows, could someone suggest an arrow fron Easton?
The arrows I buy for my ELB are custom I've never had to figure out the shaft numbers before.
Thank you.
Try this. It should be a lot closer than the Easton charts.

Thank you.
Are you planning on using carbons or aluminum? How much weight are you planning on using at the tip?
Did you scale your bow at 26.5? I'm guessing you pulling about 56, 57 pounds?
There isn't a traditional archery club or archery store in my area and closest one I have yet to visit but do plan on it. This forum has been a blessing, thanks guys.
I'm going to use aluminum, I have tips that weight 100 and 125 grains, scaled by bow at 26.5 and as for the pull weight, don't know.
I have ELB arrows, traditional English style longbow arrows with a grain weight of 600. Would they work or are they too big?
Thanks,

10 grains per pound of bow weight, they would work great...
Pick up some 2018's.
The weight of the arrow has nothing to do with whether they will work, the spine of the arrow is the important factor.
Easton axis 400 or 500 depending on what weight tip you will shoot, soften or stiffen shaft with tip.I would lean more twords the 500 with .50" deflection, thats what i shoot and they shoot great outa my 60lb bow.jonesy
Guys please do not give arrow advice unless you are sure. Jonesy is correct about the 500s, but you will need to add some weight to the point or leave them a bit long and bjk is correct on the 2018s. I am sorry but I see guys telling people to shoot this or that and they have no clue as to what they are talking about. The original question is yes they are very accurate but based on compound bows as they are based on 14" centers. Shawn
Thanks guys, your posts have helped.
