New arrows?

Hey guys, looking to make a change in arrows for next year. Shooting an Elite Hunter, 60#, 27.5" draw. Currently using Carbon Force Radial X-weave Predator 300s, 29" length (I think without measuring), and 100 grain Muzzys. Old bow was set at 28" draw for previous owner and I never had it changed. Also, he shot it probably around 65-70#, which I had lowered to around 60#. I believe these arrows are around 8.6 gpi going from what I find online. I was told this year that I am shooting more arrow than I need for this draw weight, so I was curious what you guys might recommend. I know the trajectory on these out of both my Hunter and old bow is probably not the best. I currently have a 5 pin sight with pins set at 20, 25, 30, 40, 50 (40 and 50 don't get much use). On my old bow, which I assume is slower than the Hunter, the drop from 40 - 50 yards was about 18 inches. I didn't have much chance to practice those yardages this year with the Hunter, but don't think it was as much of a drop as the old bow. Guess I'd maybe like flatter shooting, maybe touch faster, but still have enough energy to do the job and also not break the bank. Or do you think these current arrows are ok?
 
Those .300 spine arrows are waaay too stiff for a short draw 60 lb bow. Its hard to beat goldtip arrows for the price and tons of people kill deer with them every year.
Im partial to easton fmj's just bevause they are heavy and have performed great for me for the last 6 or so years.
Im shooting an elite pulse 70# maxed out with a 27 1/2" draw and my 400 spine 27" fmj's tune and shoot great.
Id reccomend easton, carbon express, amd gold tip. Those are the only brands ive shot so i wont comment on anything else.
 
You aren't going to pick up any speed or flatter trajectory with that set up by going to a different arrow. Those 300's are like 8.6 gpi if memory serves me right. If you drop a gr per inch and shoot 200's it will be better, but it will take a different bow to really make a big difference.
 
I bought the gf some muddy bloodsports, they have been a great arrow and went through a lot of abuse. I am going to switch to them after watching her smack a lot of stuff she shouldnt, and still have a good arrow.
