how much longer should my arrow be

[canuck4570]

my whip at 36#  29 shoot almost bullet hole
the tear shows to stiff with 100 gr. point
tried 120 gr and bullet hole
how longer should my arrow be to keep shooting 100gr. tip

the arrow is easton eclipse X7  1914

[reddogge]

The chart shows 30.5" max. length. I'd start there and tune. Impossible for me to tell how long your arrow needs to be.

[canuck4570]

thanks

should not be to long…… at 29" its 1/2 inches tear

[Biathlonman]

about an inch.

[canuck4570]

with 120 gr. points compared to 100 gr.
usualy is a arrow more accurate  
having a higher FOC
if adding a inch to the arrow would be adding about 9 gr.
as compared to 120 but it would be about only 110 if I take away the 9 gr. arrow length

[canuck4570]

all these question because I am getting pretty good with my whip
and wish to fine tune it to get the most out of it
could not do this at the beginning my form was not to good but now its improved to the point that I get consistence arrow tear with the 100 gr…showing that my arrow is to stiff

I find my Whips want very light arrow spines.  If you want to keep shooting aluminums i would suggest 1816s if you cant get dialed in with your 1914s.  The Toelke Whips are great aren't they?

[canuck4570]

yes it is my first trad bow and I love it

wish to stay with easton X7 will try 1914

I love the arrow (1914 X7) its weigh 427 gr. with 125 tip and it shoot great
no vibration from the bow and very quiet…..and bullet holes
now the arrow has 100 gr tip and it is a bit stiff and has a tear in paper…
I am only adding about 15 gr if you subs tact the one inche more to shoot bullet hole with the 100 gr tip

think I will stay with the 125

[canuck4570]

it should read 1814

[gvdocholiday]

I'd just bump up the point weight.  Better FOC not only from the heavier point but also from the shorter shaft.

[canuck4570]

just ordered some 125 gr.

thank you for your knowledge

shot 100 gr and 120 gr back and forth today  and the 125 shoots better and my Whip seems to like it better….

[the rifleman]

Watch your trajectory beyond 20 yds with your set up-- i shoot a 42# Whip and went to lighter weight arrow/ tip combo and it now shoots very flat.  If you are in the 8-10 gpp range you should be good.

[canuck4570]

at 30 yard the x7 1914 is about 12 inches low
I haven't shot the 1814

specs
1914 x7 cut at 29.1 is 13.1 GPP,  FOC 14.5  speed 164, point 125

1814 X7  cut at 28.2  is 11.5 GPP   FOC 13.7   speed 174, point 100
wich on I will take mmmmmmm
If I remember when I got the bow tried both and the 1814 had more shoc in the bow arm and noisier….

I love a quiet bow and here all our competition are 30 yards max

if you have a opinion please say

and is there a big difference in trajectory between 164 and 174 FPS
