New arrows?

[marshratTC]

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, but if a mod/admin could please move if this is the wrong place, I would be appreciative.

Looking for some new arrow for my new to me bow. 52@28 Dwyer Dauntless. I pull about 27" DL. I'm still going with carbon shafts because I don't really know what else to work with for the time being.

I had a couple of questions about FOC, and before ordering a couple of test kits, I wanted to make sure I had the correct information. I was told to look for approx. 10 gpp. If I am drawing 49-50 lbs, I was assuming 500 gr. arrow total weight. Should I go with more or is that about right? What about FOC? Do I need to worry about it, and can anyone help? I keep hearing it mentioned, but I need a lot more schooling. Thanks.

Given that carbons are fairly light shafts, you'll need a couple hundred grains (in point/adaptor) up front to make a 500 grain arrow. That will give you good FOC, in the neighborhood of 18-20%, I'd guess.

I'd  recommend a Heritage 150 with 65 grain brass inserts and about 145-160 tip weight. Start at full length on them and bring em down a bit at a time. I've got mine at 30" with a 29" draw. and they are not much over 500 grains.   with a shorter draw length you may need 100 grain inserts.

that will give you good FOC, and there are outstanding shafts.... Kirk
