Can anyone help me select a starting spine
« on: October 13, 2008, 12:23:00 AM »
Hello, I am eager to get in the woods and hunt, however first I need to purchase hunting arrows.  I shoot a 55 lb recurve and draw 29 in. so I assume I need either 29.75 or 30 in. arrows.  I already have 125 grain broadheads that I would like to use. I want order a package of arrows online but do not know what spine I should purchase.  I realize that there are adjustments that may be made to correct the spine to a certain degree so I just need to make the purchase so I may begin tuning.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Go to the Morisson or ACS Bows site and check out the tuning section. You can do it via formula and/or bareshafting your shafts.

with 125 to 145 gr heads and a 30" bop arrow you need 75# spine arrows. 75/80 spine should be the ticket. I know it sounds like a lot but trust me I would bet I am spot on.
