can someone run my #'s in Stu's for me???
« on: June 13, 2011, 09:53:00 PM »
I just received my new RER LXR in the mail today, and need to make up some new arrows for her.  I know about Stu's calculator, but am unable to download it to input my numbers.  I was shooting 29" to BOP arrows out of it, but they are a little to stiff.  They are 60/65# douglas fir shafts, and I have to many of them to switch to a different shaft, so I want to figure out a length for the ones I have that will work out of this bow.

My #'s are...46# @ 28" drawn to 28", 125 heads and 3-5 3/8" banana burned feathers.  The shafts are 11/32" and like I said, I want to keep the 60/65# shafts.  My question is how long should  my arrows be to BOP for my set up?

Thank you for helping me out,

Mike

Mike - Used a 62.5# spined shaft and 14 gpi, I estimated center cut at 1/8" and using an 8 Strand FF string....with the specs above a 29.75" shaft should be about 1# stiff (30" is right on the $$) and give you the option to use points from 125-145gr. YMMV. Rob

Thank you Rob.  I will start my search at 30 1/2" and whittle it down from there.  I appreciate the help.
