arrows for black widow

[ka]

I have a new to me Black Widow 51# at 28". I usually shoot a 28 3/4-29" overall length. what would be best weight carbon express arrows and what weight wood arrows.

Depends on if it is a recurve or longbow and what tip weight. Carons I would say 150's but again depends on point weight.

I'm shooting a SA II 53#@28 draw just alittle over that, I'm shooting 80-85# Hickorys 29 1/2" BOP with 160gr point and they are shooting just a hair weak bareshat out to 25yrds and I have a carbon Beman ICS 340 3 5" feathers 31" 250gr shooting just a tad stiff but not bad at all.

I would say if your going to shoot POC shaft 60-65 maybe 65-70 with 125gr point would be good. but not knowing what bow you have its all guess's.

Im shooting a PSA 55#@28&3/4. I shoot Gold Tips but I did try Carbon Express and the Heritage 250 seemed to be the right weight.
I did use the Gold Tip weighting system when I played with the Carbon Express. I tried the next size up, I think it's a 300 or 350, anyway it was way too stiff. If you don't get an answer here, try Balck Widows forum.

With wood I would start at 70-75 # spine and see how that goes, don't know squat about carbon.   Joseph

I shot CX Heritage 150's and Easton 2114's off my 51# PSAX and still shoot them off my 51# PLV and 51# TFV.Both arrows spine around 64#.Can't help you with the woods--haven't shot 'em for years

I have a 54# MA and I shoot Beeman 300's, a little long, with 260 grn. points.

Jesse,that's close to the same weight I'm shooting on my widow(52lbs & 53lbs) & I shoot 35/55 goldtips full length with the 100 grain brass inserts(125grain head) & with wood I'm shooting cedar that spines right around 65lbs.....I aint real far from ya if ya want to try either one.....

The Heritage 90 should work in that bow.
