Elkheart or Falcon, wood arrows… spine?
« on: May 20, 2014, 08:50:00 AM »
Who's shooting woodies out of one of these fine bows? I'm wondering what spine tunes well for you.
I just bought a Falcon, 48@28, drawing around 45, and only have 50/55's at the moment. Thinking it might like a little stiffer arrow?

I've got a 51@28 Elkheart I draw 29. 30" bop 75-80 shoot great with 125-145 grain heads. I'm guessing you'll be real close.

I recently spent a lot of time with a 52@28 Falcon, drawing it to 31" and around 60#.  I found it shot well with my arrow set-up for my 68@31" recurve.  That means it may have been out-performing my recurve, demanding a stiffer arrow.
Life is a whole lot easier when you just plow around the stump.
