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 |
