Which arrow can i use?
« on: July 04, 2008, 10:35:00 PM »
Hi Guys! im thinking in the possibility of making my own arrows. Like i told you in my recent post, im new in the bow making world. And i'dont have my own equipment yet. Im waiting my first bow, a turkish 40lb bow. (http://www.pampasbows.com/Asiatic1.html)
Can you suggest me what arrow to use for target? My draw lenght is 31". May i use Aluminium arrows with that bow? Which ones? And in Wood Arrows 5/16 is good?
Ok, ok, i know, too much questions.
I hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!!!

I looked at the bow on the link you gave.  Is your bow 40 lb  @ 28" or 31"?  With 40 lb and a 31" draw, you are going to need at least a 55-60 lb spine. maybe more, and that will be a 11/32 or 23/64 wood shaft.  With Aluminum I would start with a 2016.

My best advice is to contact the bowyer.  He will have lots of experience in matching arrows to his bows.  Good luck.
Good judgement comes from experience.  Experience comes from bad judgement.
