You need to look at the Shaft Selection Chart. You can find a copy of it in the back of the Easton Target Catalogue (download it off the Easton website) or in the back of the Quicks catalogue.

Just a thought though. Going from your setup information you shoot recurve right? Be aware that FMJs are heavy and your sightmarks will probably suffer a bit.

tom, i still couldn't find what i've been looking for. so, should i take those information of the original navigator as a reference of the navigator fmj?

No problem, happy to help. But they will be really heavy arrows - what is your setup like?

Are you sure you will get any benefits from fmj's with that set up? I shoot a 29.5inch draw length with 39 pounds on my fingers and I find the Easton A/C/C's that I got a few months ago are just fine.

Is that 34lbs on your fingers or 34lb at 28"? Anyway, I've no experience with Nav FMJs but I've got a sneaky suspicion you'll struggle to get decent outdoor sightmarks with that setup. You might be better off looking at a lighter shaft for outdoors with that draw weight.

If you're looking for a temporary arrow for the indoor season then you might want to consider some allys.

I predict you may struggle to get 90m with them with 34# limbs and a 29+" draw length. 70m will be doable though.
