Carbon Express 90 or 150

[Coach Jones]

Which spine would you recommend for a 46 @ 27 RER Retro?  I would like to shoot a 160 or 175 grain broadhead.   Will the 90 be to weak?

I don't think you will be able to shoot the 150. I have a set up that is 46@28 and I'm drawing a little over that and I'm shooting the 150 cut to 32" with 250 grains up front. I'm shooting the same arrow out of a heavier set up and using a 150 grain tip. You might will have to try the 90. I know with the Heritage the 150 and above are 5/16 and I think the 75 and 90 are 9/32.

maybe 27" draw would be the cut off where these don't work for Alexander above I use heritage 150's cut 29" with a 100gr insert and 125gr points out of a Palmer classic that pulls 50@27,, they bare shaft perfect so it would depend on the bow but I would guess it would be "at least" 225grains up front for you if yor using fast flight strings.

I have 29" 90's also I use with another bow a 63" soft recurve thats 48@28 (45@27) dacron string the 90's bare shaft tune perfect with 200grain points and stock inserts.  

so I guess you could use 90 or 150 it comes down to how heavy of a arrow you want, how fast you want to shoot they would both work.

I recently took some 90's my wife used to shoot out of her 40 lb recurve that are 28.25 in long and put 250 grains up front, they fly great out of a 47lb hybrid long bow I have.

Spines have changed on CE Heritage,the 90's used to be .530 and the new model 90 is .588.The 150 changed less from .487 to .495 spine.

[snowplow]

I run 90's (.588) full length with standard inserts and 150 gr points out of a 45# @ 28 long/self bow with no cut out.

The funny thing is that they seem to shoot darn good out of my new Java Man Helms Deep cut to 1/16 before center that is 51# @ 28.

Doesn't make sense to me but they seem to be a forgiving shaft if there is such a thing.

I did not know that,,, so I would say that what I posted above is the Pre-spine change formula and to disregard it unless your buying the older arrows.

The new CE Heritage arrows have a lighter color woodgrain pattern.The CE Heritage 75 went from .608 to .670,the 250 went from .373 to .391,the 350 went to .324 not sure what they were before.
