Carbon arrow recommendations -need help
« on: April 28, 2009, 07:08:00 AM »
Shoot a 66' LB 48/28, 30' draw probably 51/52 lbs
What carbon arrows do you recommend and what spine weight and etc...I'm new and don't have any idea?

Well---have you all day?---If you have buddies that will let you try some of theirs, it might cut the learning time.
All mine are cut off too short for you---have shot PSE's, Carbon Express in a couple of iterations.  Tried weight tubes and adapter weights.  Had a lot of problems  finding a good combination---  Settled on Grizzly Stik Alaskans---my longbow is labeled 60# at 28'', but I draw only 27.  Arrows are cut off to 28":  225-250 grains glued to the factory brass inserts gives an arrow that bareshaft better than I can shoot. They are tapered shafts, so they seem to be more forgiving than the other shafts.
It is fun to experiment---but expensive. Enjoy.

Here are a few that will work depending on your point wt.  CX Heritage 150's/250's, Gold Tip 55/75, Arrow Dynamic Traditional Lites, Grizzly Stik Alasakan's.

I shoot 30" CX Heritage 250, 56# recurve, and I need 200 grains up front for good spine. I'd say start with the 150s if you go with the Heritage shafts. They're the toughest shafts I've used so far and they're relatively heavy. Good luck.
