AD Trad Heavy Shaft Length ???
« on: September 12, 2007, 08:04:00 PM »
Hey Gang, I Fletched'm up and went to the range today. Shot them out of my Longbow(56#) and my Recurve (54#) the Longbow seemed to like'm better. My Question is the Arrows are 32.5" Long, I have 250 Grns at the Tip...Should I cut'm back a inch or two...Anyone setup like this?  Thanks, Suty

Suty,

I shoot them out of a 62# longbow, but mine are 29" with the 250 up front. I draw 29", With broadheads I would need to go at least 30". Just got the doz and they were already cut. Wanted to see if I like them before buying some new ones. With broad heads I like my arrows to be cut so that when I reach full draw the back of the head touches my finger,that way I know I am at full draw.
