small diameter arrows
« on: April 04, 2011, 07:05:00 PM »
I'm currently shooting common 5/16 arrows. How will shooting the easton ST or smaller diameter arrows effect flight/accuracy?

Thanks, CAT

dynamic spine will change some as you are effectively moving the center of the arrow closer to center shot.

Assuming the same spine arrow, would this likely mean less wieght up front to get the same spot of impact?

In theory as you move to center the arrow does not need to be as weak.  Depends on the bow and how close the arrow is to center shot.  Skinny arrow out of a recurve don't require alot of weight.  I have shot full length 32" .340 full metal jackets with 125 grains up front out of a 50 lb. recurve at 28" draw.

I'm shooting a 50lb kodiak magnum. No idea how close to center it is. I am actually overspined and my plan was to shoot heavy up front. I don't want to undermine this by shooting a smaller diameter shaft.
