Arrow for 41@28????

[stick hunter]

I am getting my nephew started in trad and he is going to be shooting a 41@28 longbow. I am going to have him shooting alum arrows, my question is what arrow do you think would be good for 20 yards and in on deer? I dont have much experience with low poundage but do have some 2117 and some 2018's. I would rather not have him shoot a real heavy broadhead so im a little confused. I questioned the above arrows because a have alot of them and i believe some fellows on this site use the same arrow in that draw range. THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!!

What is your nephew's draw length? That will have a lot to do with the arrows that will work.  Also, does the bow have a dacron string or a fast flight string?

2117s and 2018s will likely be way too stiff.  I am shooting 2117s out of a 59-pound Pronghorn longbow with 125-grain field points.

An 1816 or 1918 might be better choices, but draw length, string type, offset of riser, etc., will all play a big roll in selecting the right arrow.

I would think a 1916 would be a good choice for that draw weight.

1916 should be the ticket!

1916 will work ..

I shoot a couple of Longwalkers in that weight and 1916 work fine.

1916, yes. But 2016s will work also, and offer a bit more penetration due to increased weight. SOFTEN THE SPINE WITH MORE WEIGHT UP FRONT OR LONGER LENGTH.

Oh my, I would have picked an 1816.

Thanks alot he draws 28 inches, the bow does have a fast flight string, and I believe it is cut to center.

Depending on draw length, either the 1816 or 1916.  

I shoot a few bows now around 40# and draw close to 29".  With a 1916 cut to 30" with 125 head, it works for all my light bows.  

For a shorter draw and shorter arrow Killdeer is right on.  Even the 1913 may be worth a look as well.

I have paired the 2016 with both a Bob Lee TD Longbow @41# and a Morrison Shawnee @40#. They fly
perfectly with 200g up front cut to 29".
