Too stiff?
« on: October 23, 2008, 02:47:00 PM »
I have a FF Sovereign Ballistik recurve.  60 lbs at my 28" draw.  Are 2020 XX75 shafts with 137-145 grain BHs too stiff.  Want too order some but I'm just not sure.

It is really tough to predict the correct arrow deflection without actually shooting. Besides all of the physical aspects of your bow, your shooting style may also come into play.

2018, 2115, and 2020 look close to me. You may have to play with tip weight and brace height in any case though.

You should be able to tune them to your bow,your bow is cut past center and usally handle a wider range of spines.A 2020 has a spine of .426,a 2117(spine is .407) may be a good choice for a recurve also.Do you have any arrows you can try first,what works for one person may not be the best choice for your setup.A 2117 is a popular arrow size,can be found at most places.2020's only come in the Legacy's now.

I really like the weight and durability of the 2020, but also have affection for their ease of tuning with bows like yours.  The 2117 is also a good one.
