carbon arrows for 60# longbow?

[Fanto]

Sorry double post

The bare shafts are grouping with the fletched shafts so they are tuned job done.

By the way,  what are you taking about cutting off feathers? You need some fletched some bareshafts to do your tuning so you always have both on hand.

Sorry but Stu Millers calculator has everyone overspined that I have seen! It is common sense, why shoot an arrow designed to be shot out of 65 compounds out of 60# trad biws, unless left super long or add a tOn of weight up front! Shawn

You keep saying that. My 7595s are 10lbs under on stu millers calculator. 29.5, 320 up front. 3/16 past centre cut bow.

Bow dynamic spine, 72lbs. Arrow spine, 62lbs.

5575 with the same length and weight , spine 42lbs or 30lbs under.

??

Maybe my calculators broke

Depending on arrow length or how much weight you plan to use up front I would say either a 350 or 400 spine arrow. I just started carrying the Black Eagle line of arrows and so far I am VERY impressed with their performance and durability! The two models I stock are the Carnivores and Zombie Slayers. The Zombies are a little heavier gpi but both are solid performers. If there is a downside they do not yet come in a "Traditional" type finish. But so far everyone that has tried them has been very happy with the results. If you like you can read more about them at the link below.

Right now I only have raw shafts on the website but I will be offering finished arrows within the next week or two.


On a side note, I have a 60@28 Hill style bow showing up sometime this week and will be tuning an arrow for this bow and might be able to provide additional suggestions at that time.

Good luck!

Success!!! Thanks to everyone who offered tips I got my new bow tuned today. Went from 175 grain tips to 150 grain tips and from 12 to 23 yards the unfletched shaft hits straight and is with my fletched shafts.

Phew!

Good for you sir, happy shooting!

Sorry people know how I feel about Stu'd calculator run the numbers all you want. I get more e-mails and PM's for arrow advise than I can count and get 95% or more of the people very close the first time and I don't need numbers, strike plate thickness, how far the bow is cut past center. I use real world experience from owning 120 different custom bows the last 17 years and experimenting with carbons for about 15 of that. I also have seen what a lot of guys say is perfect arrow flight and I really have to laugh. Shoot what ya want and have fun, just don't use Stu's calculator or my advise for that matter, experiment yourself and enjoy it, thats half the fun. Shawn

Now THAT is some good advice Shawn!
