Title: Need help with arrows
Post by: Arthur Scottie on October 19, 2008, 01:34:00 PM

I bought myself a deer master recurve by greattree to kill the time before my selfbow staves dry.

I have no idea what to do for arrows. I have 55-70# carbon shafts. What do I do with the plastic vaines? Can I leave them on?

If I should buy wood, what spine for my 50# bow?

Need more info,what is your draw length,bow weight is it cut past center,what type of string FF or dacron? Take the plastic vanes off and fletch with feathers.55/70 carbon may be alittle stiff for a 50# bow,but there are alot of other factors with carbon arrows.They may work,but you may have to add some up front weight to tune them.

Yes you need feathers and 250gr + up front they should be fine. Cheapest route to go before buying lighter shafts.
