Hi Tim
I'm not convinced you will gain much if you are not bothered about getting any more distance. A barreled arrow gives you more weight up front and allows a thinner profile. great for shooting long distance in the wind. I feel with longbow, investing time and not necessarily money in getting some arrows that spine well is more important than how they look.
But they do look really nice
PS have a word with Pip Bickerstaffe, he will give you a very honest opinion. Very nice approachable chap.
