Need input on arrows/spine (newbie post)
« on: January 13, 2010, 10:24:00 PM »
Alright so i got my bow set up. its an old bear kodiak magnum 52'' 40# I have about a 30 dl so i figure im pullin about 44-46 lbs. The arrows i have been shootin are gamegetter 2117. They seem a bit stiff and fly side to side. Im also gettin new arrows because these have vains and i only have 3 of them. I also want a little more of a traditional look. I am probally getting the easton legacys of one of the following sizes 1916 (.623 spine) 2016 (.531 spine) or 2114 (.510 spine). All that comes off the easton website. It is listed "spine @ 28''" Im also wonderin 31 or 32 inches? Any input at all is greatly appreciated. Also i should mention that my shelf is is almost cut to center. It is cut right to the center of the bow. I think that means i might want to go with the 1916s. Sorry for ALL the NEWBIE post it much be getting annoying haha. I tried using the easton shaft selector and it tells me to use a spine in the .300's and i just dont thinks right at all

I would think 2016's would be close depending on point weight but I'm no expert.  I do know that if your shooting off the shelf that the vanes will cause poor arrow flight.  You may want to strip the vanes off and put some feathers on the arrows you have before you spend money on the wrong arrows.  Just my .02  someone more knowledgable will chime in soon.
Chasing my kids and my degree for now but come next fall the critters better look out.  ;)

I have a 1971 K mag that my dad bought new that's 40 @ 28 I also have a 30"draw and mine shoots 31" 2117 with 145 heads like a dream.  It also dose great with 30" 2018 and 125 heads if I choak up on my draw and shoot it a little short.
