arrow choice
« on: July 21, 2007, 09:16:00 PM »
I'm new to this trad stuff and I've been reading a lot about arrow spine and weight.It seems there a lot of people on here that know a lot about what arrow is good for a certain bow(or at least a ballpark figure).I currently shoot a 55 lb @28" bear grizzly.When i bought the bow they measured my draw lentgh at 30" by the ruler on the chest outstretched arms method.
  My arrows(which they recomended)are Easton Legacy 2216s cut at 31".I shoot 125 grain field points and muzzys with practice blades.I draw till the back of the blade just touches my knuckle.It seems to shoot ok.
  Just wonderd y'alls opinion on this combination.Btw I weighed the arrow with broadhead on my reloading scale and it was 500 grains,give or take.Thanks.

If you are drawing 30" that would put your bow around 61# and if you look at Foxfire Traditional arhery site chart they recomend 2117 but a 2216 might work also.There is only a slight difference in spine but they are the same physical weight.

Sounds like you got good advice... that set up should work fine.
