Been thinking about trying some of these arrows.They come 32" long.When tuning do you cut them from the front or back?I know they are tapered so I don't know if you could cut too much of the taper off.I shoot a 51#@28 BW with D97 string.Would I need to front load the Trads?Also,what is the OD at the point?
Thanks

You need to cut them from the front not the taper. I shoot mine with comparable bow weights with 175 to 200 up front not including the stock adapter. I have not had an issue in tuning these arrows. I am not sure of the OD but I can measure it later.

I think it was Big Ron who turned me on to them last year at the Sweat. Best tidbit I've picked up in a long time. Cut mine to 29", 100gr. steel insert with 125gr BH. All total 630grs out a 63# Chastain Wapiti. Nothing but a Chartruese ball headed down range!
Thanks Big Ron!

Cut from the front. They take very little tuning. If anything, they generally need some front weight like the 100 gr insert mentioned. I've shot them for years. Never found a better arrow for my set-up's. CK

When I shoot the Trads I preffer to leave them full length even though my draw is only 28" . The extra length does not mess with the spine for me , you will have to check yourself however. One of the reasons I like the length is for weight.

They are a great shooting arrow, easy to tune, with perfect arrow flight and also very forgiving, but I wish the Trad Lites were a bit more durable. Just need to be more careful, I guess.
