Arrow difference

[OB]

I know the answer, but can't figure out why?  If I gave you a custom LB, measuring 54# at a draw of 28in, which arrow would fly best?  A 55# spined cedar arrow, 125g target point, length of 27.5in OR aluminum 2018, 125g target point, length of 29.5in?  One style consistently shoots like a lazer and hits hard and straight.  The other consistently shoots a couple of inches to the right, but with a straight entry, and seems slower.  This is with consistent release. The cedar is my shooter, but I'm not sure why?  Perhaps if I cut the aluminum down to 27.5, that may solve my issue?

That 2018 with 125 on it should be overspined for that setup.

Then again I've had bows defy arrow setup logic like that.Just shoot what works.

[Dave Worden]

The 2018 should work fine IF your LB is center shot, which it probably isn't.  Otherwise, like mentioned above, it is probably way to stiff. If you shorten them, they'd just be stiffer.  Again, the advice the got above is good.  Shoot what works.  If, for some reason, you don't want to shoot cedar and want to shoot alum, get a lower spined alum.

OB, try the 2018's with a 145grn. point.I have some 2018's that I have had since like 1985 that a shop cut to short for me (28 1/2 in.) for my 28" draw.Anyway I got a Martin Savannah 55# @ 28" that likes 2016's and 2114's with a 145 head.I picked up one of those 2018's the other day and put on a 145 head and it shot like a laser beam! I thought they would be way to stiff but if they shoot they shoot!You may have to try differant size heads to make them work,maybe even heavyer?

The 2018, although stiffer spine, is also longer and has a heavier point...plus, it's only 5/16th diameter so it could be showing soft in spine.  You could just build out the rest, or shorten the 2018, 1/4" at a time until it centers.

I belive right means weak so maybe cut it down a hair uh. i belive alot of people like to shoo heavy arrowsi shoot 57  pounds and shoot 1916 and they shoot greatwith 125 points

I just had the wife measure my draw length (from throat of nock to back of bow.)  Pulled 7 times, and came up with an average of 25in    :eek:  .  For years I've been matching arrows to a 54lb @28in bow, and taking elk.  Is it true that I've been shooting an actual 45lbs this whole time??!  I wonder if 25in is my true length, or if my shooting posture is messed up?
