aluminum advice

[WESTBROOK]

Another option is the 2020, they can be a little heavier than some folks like though.

I shoot a 60" Super Shrew, 48 @ 28 and I draw 29.5". I used a 30.5" 2020 with a 210g zwickey in the front for my Turkey arrow. They shot very nice...all 660g worth.

I'd highly recommend the XX78 super slam shafts they hold up better than the xx75.  I hunted with them for 15 years.  another shaft that would work well for your weight and 125 grain heads is a 2016. They'll come in right about 500 grains too. perfect for a 49 pound bow. IMO

even if i draw 30"? [/b]

i draw right at 29" and cut my shafts 29" and used 160 grain WW screw in broadheads with a 53 pounds. i would think adding an extra inch and backing off to 125 grain points should be pretty close to the same set up....

but a lot of arrow spine calc's depend on the how much snap the bow has, and the shelf cut out. in your case you would be a bit on the weak side with an extra inch of draw, bur you should be able to pad your strike plate to adjust for it i would think.

You know what i used before was a glue on adapter that screws into the insert and the 125 grain glue on WW head. by the time it's all said and done you have about 150-160 up front and can switch out your broad heads and field points. 150 -160 up front on that 2016 is decent FOC for good arrow flight too.


are you dead set on the swedged  aluminum?

[Blaino]

No I'm not dead set on swedged arrows. I do like'em a lot though.

I haven't ever had to build out me side plate.... I'm going to get one 2016 and give it a shot.

If you are interested in swaging you should call Mikes Archery. To my knowledge that is the only outfit still offering the service and they would be able to give you a definative answer. I've also never asked if they will swage a nock end.

[SCATTERSHOT]

I think I have some 2115 shafts, shoot me a PM if you would like me to look for them.

The Footed Shaft did my last batch.

[bigbadjon]

Thats good to know. I've bought stuff there before but was unaware they offered that service.
