Arrow advice needed

I personally like the RIP TKO's. You can get the lower tolerance arrows for cheaper and they still have some stellar spine performance. Additionally I have never had quality issues or one break.

For reasonably priced arrows, Gold Tip XT Hunters are hard to beat. To me they just seem tougher than other arrows. But since I like to check out other options I picked up a dozen Easton 6.5s last fall to try out when I ran into a real good deal on them. I like them fine but I don't think they're quite as tough as the Gold Tips. I also got some Black Eagle Outlaws a couple yrs ago that I'm happy with. When my gf wanted to get into shooting a bow I grabbed her some Bass Pro Blackout Envy's (gold tips) on a good sale. They seem great.
For a saw, I mounted a Dremel on one end of a 2ft 2x64 with a screw in the middle and one towards the far end as 'guides' to roll the arrows against, doing my best to get it straight and square. It works like a champ.

I’ve been hunting with compound bows since eight grade which had to be 1988 ish lol. I do like nostalgia but it had limitations like everyone says go to a shop by a modern hunting arrow, we changed for a reason. Now if you want to have it look like your old arrows Easton released a couple 6mm fmj options a few years back you can still em. I think there was one around the xx75 camo look and my favorite autumn orange which I went out and bought 18 of and built them. There still in use in my back up bow / slash best friend kids bow. He killed a nice 5 point his 1st time out with em. I think FMJ beyond the bending and weight bridges the gap from old school to new. I’ll pass for me I like skinny arrows lighter gpi and 200 grains up front. Compound shooting has come along way for me it’s a fun hobby to chase new things with. I still have a recurve for times when I want to connect to the past.
