I finally purchased a Black Widow PMA II 62", 50 @ 28". I shoot a 29 1/2" arrow. The booklet shows I should be shooting about an 85-89# spined arrow. I shot some 2114's and they sure seemed to fly pretty true. Any chance 2117 would be any better.???? Thanks, Scott

Scott:
2114's spine 64#@28" that would make them 59@29 1/2" 2117's spine 81#@28" and 79#@29 1/2". Your 2114's should shoot OK, but I suspect they shoot a little to the right of your point of aim! 2117's would be better, and 2216 or 2219's even better.

Have you done a bare shaft test. It's the only way to really tell how the shafts are flying for you. Shooting fletched shafts will never let you know how your arrows are really flying.

I have three widows, an SAV, PLA, and PLX. All are about the same weight as yours, although I draw 28 inches. I shot 2117 and 2018 arrows last year. I now shoot Grizzly arrows from Alaska Archery Supply. I know that everybody thinks that what they are shooting is the right arrow, but these true tappered shafts do the job, fly great from a range of draw weights. You must not forget, you will void your warranty with Widow if you don't shoot the recommended 8 to 10 grains per pound of draw weight. The 2114 arrows will come in under that recommended weight. I am getting 12 grains of weight, they are whisper quiet.
