Arrow/Broadhead setup for a 45lb Quinn Stallion

[RodL]

I have a 45lb stallion classic, I will be drawing 28". I think the riser is cut 5/16 past center. I'm going to be hunting whitetails, mostly from treestands and limiting my shots to 20yds or less. Any recommendations for arrow length, insert weight and a good broadhead to use. Thanks

Here is what I use from my 46# Kanati R/D longbow:

Beman ICS Bowhunter 500s cut to 30", standard insert, 135 gr. Zwickey Delta two blade (big and wide), 100 grain adapter, 3-5" shield cut feathers. This set-up weighs 520 grains.

I draw 28" too. With this combination I had a complete pass-through on an 8 point Iowa buck at 22 yards from a tree stand this year. It was a double lung shot, and he was 97 of my steps away when he crashed (I'm 5'9", so my steps are kinda short). This one works for me.

 
Note the color change on the feathers        

Hope this helps.

Oops! Wrong button.

Thanks 30coupe.

Anyone else like to contribute?

30coupe, what is the spine of those beemans?  Does the name bowhunter mean its a certain spine?
  I am waiting on a 45# Quinn Stallion myself so I am going to follow this thread too.  I may be able to contribute in a week or so.

Goldtip 3555's with 145 tips...maybe some weight tubes to get the weight up. But they shoot like darts with 5inch feathers.

500 spine most likely will work for you

[30coupe]

Neutron,

The spine is 500, sorry. I edited my original post. They are about 21 percent FOC. I get great arrow flight and penetration.

I had a #47 quinn that loved full length 35/55 with 200 to 250 up front. Wish I'd never sold her.

I use 1916 aluminums now. Used woodies for many years. Use old bear razorheads and magnus two blade heads. My Stallion is 45# @ 28". I've always cut my arrows 3/4 of an inch longer then my draw.

[George D. Stout]

I don't like two inches sticking past my draw length.  I use 2016 @ 28" bop, on my 45 pound Shakespeare, and several other bows of that poundage.  I just use standard insert and 125 grain point...like we used to for decades 8^).  They are about 470 grains and will go through deer as quickly as any arrow around.  If you want carbons, go with the 600 spine and you won't need a couple extra inches sticking past the bow, and you can still add some front weight if that's what you want.

Thanks to everyone who posted, I guess I will have to decide if I want Carbon or Alum.

I have 3 Quinns, bunch   of limbs. I would use a GT 35/55, cut one inch past your actual draw, 150-175 grain head, alum std. insert and alu. insert in arrow. 4" parabolic feathers, set the nock 1/4 high and let her rip. George is on the money, keep it simple. I used this same set up here to take a bunch of deer and turkeys the last 3 years, 10-30 yds. Holler back if you need more help tuning that Quinn. Sam

Most any .500 spine carbon should tune just fine and it will still be straight after you shoot it hundreds of times. You could shoot it a little longer and lighter with 125gr tips or cut it a little shorter and add more tip weight and increase foc. One of the many advantages of carbon arrows.

Nothing wrong with an extra inch or two.

Thanks again.
