Im Carbon Dumb help
« on: January 07, 2008, 03:02:00 PM »
Hello all. Just got my new ACS/CX
Specs:
64"
46#@28"
51#@30"
52# to 53# at my draw.  30.5" with this bow

Aluminums i have down. But im going to end up aroumd 630 to 685 total arrow weight, would like to get down to around 500 or just above, so i guess carbon will be the ticket.

Now my question, i dont know any thing about carbon spine, with my set up where should i start? I would like no shorter than a 31" arrow. Weight up front is a good thing.

Easy to find and use brand sugestions will be good to.

Thank you.

wtpops   I have a A&H 54# @ 28" its 64" I pull about 27 1/2 I'm shooting GT 3555 29" 260 up front total weight around 500 gr. I also shoot a A&H 60# @ 28" it is also 64", I shoot GT 3555 28 1/2 " with 260 up front they are about 490 total weight. Both bow where bare shafted with this set up. My friend DesertDude pulls about 29" when he shoots my bows the arrows show weak.  :thumbsup:

Rick, I think you could use a Carbon Express 45-60 weight shaft (Rebels, Terminators, etc) with the regular inserts and probably a heavier broadhead 175 - 200 or so. I shoot these shafts with 250 grains up front cut to 29 in heavier bows, but my draw is shorter (27). They scale about 580 grains. Yours would be lighter. These would be good hog medicine!

Pops, A 31" Heriatge 150 with 175 grain point weight should fly very well for ya and get ya a bit over 500 grains. Shawn
