Mountain monarch tuning??
« on: October 29, 2021, 07:37:12 PM »
Seems like the only 64” mountain monarch owners reside on this forum.
Got one on the way and I am riddled with anticipation.
Fairly new to the traditional world.
Only owned a few super curves on metal risers and a couple laminated longbows so far.
Ive this far shot fairly high poundage bows and draw somewhere around 30” so have generally just. Broke down .300 spine arrows with point weight til bare shafts fly with fletched. My thunderchild demanded a really stiff arrow,even with strike plate built way out. Whereas my whistler while being 5lbs heavier wants a much weaker arrow. Has me wondering where Ill be sitting with the mm.
Should only have about 50# on the fingers with this bow. Ive got it in mind this will make finding an arrow thatll tune without a ton of point weight but still be at or above 10gpp a little easier. Got a dozen xx78s 2117s I have a feeling may prove perfect for this undertaking.
Anyhow, Id really love to be regaled with stories of mountain monarchs and maybe what arrows folks are shooting out of theirs to help kill some time til I get to figuring it out for myself.
Thanks a ton, all threads pertaining to the mountain monarch are a few years old. Seemed reasonable for a new thread. Ill spice things up with some pics once she shows up I swear.

So your probably at 50#s I assume at 30 inches draw?31 inch arrow.Recurve cut to center or past and Fast flight string.Long draw and long arrows.Your probably close with the 2117s due to all those factors.

I would get some 125,150 and 175 grain screw in points and see what happens.I play with those point weights on my 1916s and 2016s.I shoot lighter bows than your 50 pounder and dont draw 30 inches.

Yeah 30” draw 50 on the fingers.
Ive got a good variety of field points to screw around with. Probably should get another kit so I got a few of extras to bare shaft tune with
Being Jim cuts em past center I imagine Ill have a good amount of wiggle room.
The 2117s are 33” . Really hoping I can tune full length or close with 200 grains up front so I will have more non vented head options.
Really excited for a lighter poundage bow and having more options available to me when it comes to shafts. Maybe even explore wood with this one.

Folks generally use standard quivers on their recurves? I got a BJ kick back on my whistler. Probably look funny on the mountain monarch though Im thinkin..
