carbon express shaft selection ??
« on: October 21, 2007, 01:18:00 PM »
I am shooting a 55@29" Brack Quest.  I draw all of 29" maybe even 29.5.  I shoot a 30.5" arrow and would like to shoot around 250gr up front.  This is what I need to get the total weight to where I want it to be.  With the heritage shaft will I be good with the 250's or would I need the 350's?  
Thanks, Jonathan

I would bet that the 250's will be best.  I am shooting the 150's at 30 inches from a 53lb bow.

Since you want 250gr up front, the 250's should be good.  I don't have experience with the 250's but I am sure that others here have.  Maybe they will chime in.

Good shootin',

I’m shooting the Heritage 250’s. My draw length is 29.5” and the arrows are cut to 30.5”. I use 125 gain tips and the total weight of the arrow is 580 grains. I shoot these arrows with two different bows. One bow is 45 lbs at 28” draw and the other is 51 lbs at 29.5” draw. This setup works great for me.

I am guessing the 250's as well.  I am shooting 63#@31 with full length 350's with 250 up front and they fly great for me out of one bow.  Another bow I have with the same specs likes the 250's with a little less weight up front.  I haven't been able to get the 350's to fly right out of that bow.

I know that the 250s oot of the Brack cut to 31"s will be weak with 250 up front, even at 30.5"s they will be weak with 250 up front. I would say the 350s will be stiff set up the same way. I believe the 350 cut to 31"s and 275 up front should do ya good. I my self would go with a 30.5" 250 and 225 up front or a tad less. I shot a Brack that was 55#s at 28"s and I draw 28.5"s and the 250 cut to 29.5"s and I needed 275 up front and it still was a bit stiff but flew well fletched. shawn
