Title: Axis and Classic users
Post by: BowPlinker on March 11, 2010, 03:22:00 PM
Okay I have been shooting a recurve 50# @ 28 (my pull is only 26.5)
Was using Axis 500s cut 29 3/4 with 75 grain brass insert with 125 grain head. Tuned well!

Then GOT NEW Acadian Woods tree stick. It is 53 # at my pull. SO,

I got some 500 Beeman classics 100 grain brass inserts with 125 head. What you think I should try lenght wise? Or what do you use?

My buddy cut one 28 5/8 and it seems to fly well but i am going to paper tune today and I cut one 29 inches. Just want input.
basically I am bored hahaha
Thanks
Ken

Thanks

Start with the full lenght arrow and cut it off about a quarter inch or less at a time until they tune.

Yep I realize that I was just wondering if there was anyone that sorta had my same draw and lbs bow to see what they thought.
I didnt mention that the 29 inch one seemed to fly as well as the shorter.

Still you are the shooter and may not shoot like someone else even with similar bows.Like said start full length and trim alittle at a time.

If your draw is 26.5 cut them to 27.5.  Then add point weight until they tune.  This will give the highest foc and best penetrating arrow.  If they end up too heavy go down in shaft spine and repeat the process.  If they end up too light go up in spine.

Ferret is spot on.

Ferret is right on.  Put the weight in the front you desire for achieving you total arrow weight and cut off the nock end a little at at time.
