Title: GT's vs. Carbonwood spine comparison?
Post by: traditional beagle on January 18, 2011, 05:42:00 PM
Usually shoot GT's 35/55 with 50gr. brass inserts and 125 gr. tip. 50 lb. @ 27" bow. My shop was out of GT's so I bought some Carbonwood Vapor arrows in the 2000 series. My question is since I don't have a spine tester does anyone know if the spine is close or not. Carbonwoods are lighter and I'm guessing spine is less. I can't get them to fly as well as the GT's unless my release is perfect. What do you think? I ordered some different weight field points to start experimenting.

I have shot both and for the Vapors 2000 was always 35/45 and 3000 was 45/60. The 3000s match the goldtip 35/55 better in my opinion.

Sounds like the bow man gave me so bad advice. I knew I should have asked here first.

2000's are definatley weaker. He must not sell too many since they have been discontinued for years. Great shafts if you have the right ones though.

Must have found them in his dungeon. Maybe I can cut them a couple inches shorter and get them to fly. That's what I get for settling for something that I wasn't looking for just because he was out of GT's.

I wish I could help you with that. I am out of 3555 blems at this time, but keep the non blems on hand at a very resonable price.

Give us a call sometime.
