As draw weight increases, so should arrow rigidity (spine).

This includes your field point or broadhead.

What should the weight of a lightweight Arrow be?
For our purposes, a lightweight arrow will be one that has a finished weight of between 5 and 6 ½ grains per pound of your bow’s maximum draw force. For example, a lightweight arrow for a 70-pound bow would have a finished weight (including broadhead) between 350 and 455 grains.
Which is the best type of arrow to shoot?
If the shot distance may approach 30 yards then a mid-weight, full-length arrow pushing a medium sized broadhead is the best choice. When shot from bows in the 70-pound range, these shafts produce arrow speeds in the 260 fps range – slightly slower, of course, for lighter poundage bows.
What should the straightness of an arrow be?
Most reputable arrows are very straight and very consistent. Beware of some of the unknown brands, however. Price tradeoffs: Most arrows are manufactured in straightness ranges. The most expensive arrows have straightness tolerances of +/- .001 to +/- .002 inch. Lower grade arrows have straightness tolerances of +/- .003 to +/- .006 inch.
