arrows too light?
« on: January 31, 2011, 07:20:00 PM »
Hello tradgang. Im still new to trad. I always hear about yall shooting weighted arrows. I just got me a super k 50@ 28. Im shooting 2216's with 125 stingers.Arrows fly good. I killed my first deer with it and it broke a rib going in and it went out and hit the leg bone and stopped knocking a chip out of the bone. She went 40yards.She was 10yards at the shot. Is my combination unusual? Thanks!

I think you should be real close. There are a lot of guys on here that can give you a more detailed report. I use 2216's with 145 gr woodsman heads out of my 53 lb recurve. Complete pass thru on my last deer, 20 yard recovery. If it is working, I would not change anything. The charts are not always the right answer. Scott

You don't say what your draw length is. Unless you are drawing 30", I would think 2216's with a 125 gr pt would be way too stiff.

Thanks for your help. I shoot 29inch draw.I figured they were on the edge of being stiff. Does everyone shoot weighted arrows?
