I am using Goldtip XT's and have no complaints with them. You would probably want XT 5575 shafts, depending on the length of the arrow. I get them in BC for $75 a dozen ready to go.

I shoot Carbon Express. CX 300's for hunting and the CXL 250 for 3-D and Target. They are more expensive, but the performance and durability out of the CX series is great. The other ones to look at are the Terminator 4560 or the Carbon Rebel. The Rebel is fairly new and you can get into them for about $80 a doz.

The easton epic are pretty good.
So are the carbon aeros excels.
I think you want to pick the weight of your broad head with a good FOC in mind, About 10 to 14 %
I shoot a hundred grain ulimate steel, on a 350 gr arrow, total 450 grains, and will punch through a brick wall.
I shoot Goldtip 3d Pros 5575 at 28" 65lbs. with 100 grain points and 4" Easton Diamond Vanes, but will be switching to Duravanes on my next dozen. I've read a couple reports on carbon shafts in Bowhunting world over the years and Goldtip always places at or near the top on long range accuracy and durability. Plus they are made in North America, GoldTip and Blawkhawk are the only 2 arrows not made overseas.

My imput to this would be to shoot the A-CC if you are going to shoot tournaments if your not the gold tips seem to be a popular choice for hunting.

Gold tip xp in my opinion are the best bang for the buck. But i bought a dozen gold tip pros they are the toughest shaft ive seen all around a great arrow.
