68" bow | Arrow Specs — 30lb Recurve Bow at 27–28" Draw

Arrow Spec — 500 Spine (Preferred)

Correct spine for a 30lb recurve at ~28" draw. The Sanlida Noble already includes 6 carbon arrows at 500 spine — these are the right choice for this bow.

Spec	Value	Notes
Spine	500	Standard correct spine for 30lb recurve at ~28" draw
Arrow overall length	28–30"	Matches her 27–28" draw with safe clearance past the shelf
Shaft material	Carbon fiber	Carbon or aluminum both acceptable at this draw weight — carbon preferred
Point weight	100gr	Standard field tip — matches spine chart assumptions at 30lb
Point type	Replaceable screw-in field tip
Fletching	Plastic vanes or natural feather, 3–4"	Either works fine at this draw weight
Total arrow weight	240–300gr preferred / 210gr minimum	See GPP table below
Straightness	.006" or better	Confirm with seller
Max safe draw weight rating	Must cover 30lb minimum	Almost any listing will clear this easily

Arrow Spec — 600 Spine (Acceptable Alternative)

Slightly more flexible than 500 — still works fine at 30lb, widely available, and often cheaper. Good backup option if 500 spine is unavailable at the right length.

Spec	Value	Notes
Spine	600	Toward the flexible end for 30lb — acceptable, not preferred
Arrow overall length	28–30"	Same length requirement
Shaft material	Carbon fiber or aluminum	Both fine at this weight
Point weight	100gr
Total arrow weight	210gr minimum	Same GPP floor applies
Straightness	.006" or better
Max safe draw weight rating	Must cover 30lb

GPP Reference Table

GPP = Grains Per Pound of effective draw weight. Based on 30lb effective draw.

GPP Tier	Calculation	Total Grains	Use Case
Minimum safe floor	7 GPP × 30lb	210gr	Absolute minimum — do not go below this
Preferred target	8 GPP × 30lb	240gr	Sweet spot for beginner target practice
Upper end	10 GPP × 30lb	300gr	Heavier end — still fine, just slower

Do NOT Buy

What	Why
400 spine or stiffer	Too stiff for 30lb — arrow will not flex correctly through paradox, poor flight
700 spine or higher	Too weak/flexible for even 30lb — inconsistent flight
Arrows shorter than 28"	Too short for her ~27–28" draw — safety risk
Fiberglass shafts over 30"	Heavy, inconsistent, poor spine rating — the included Noble arrows are better
Arrows rated below 30lb	Outside safe range — almost never an issue at this draw weight
