Arrow Recomendation for Wife

[wislnwings]

I need some advice for my wife's "new to her" bow.  The bow is a Crow Creek 3pc longbow 45@28.  She draws 26".  We shot a variety of arrows I have through it yesterday.  Some Beeman ICS 400's that are 29" with 125 grain points and Easton 2018's that are 29" with 175 grain points flew best.  I'd like to put together some arrows for her.  Can anyone recommend a good carbon shaft size for her 26" and approx 40#'s?  She does not hunt, only target shoots with me, so I'm not worried about ending up with a heavy hunting arrow.

I don't know carbons. Aluminum 1816s will work.

Here are a few to consider CX Heritage 90's, Gold Tip 35/55 or Falcon's, Easton Epic Jr's.

Very close to the same specs my son Chase has...Easton Epic 600's with 200gr on front are tuning up quite nicely for us.

Alums 1816's should work great.   For carbon, best luck I've had is with Whitetail 25/45's.   I have a 25" draw and shoot all my arrows at 28", presently using a variety of bows in the 35 - 40 pound range and these arrrows seem to work well in all of them... recurves and longbows, off the shelf and raised rest.

oh, yeah... these are light arrows... don't over fletch them.   I started out with 5 " helical and it slowed them down too much.  The Whitetails I use in recurves with raised rest and small vanes... yikes they fly fast for my light draw.   The 1816's I use a slight offset straight set and fairly low profile.  They do good off the shelf, but not as fast as the Whitetails out of a high tech recurve.

Yep, 1816's....Van
