2016

[Ian johnson]

what poundage bow would be good for a 2016 gamegetter cut to 29in with standard insert and 125gr point? the bow would be drawn to 29in, would it work for a 50@28 grizzly?

[**DONOTDELETE**]

depending on the bow. I think those arrows are to weak for the bow You listed, but I could be wrong. I think they are more suited for bows in the 35-45# range.

[Dave Pagel]

I shoot 2016s out of my bows in the 48-53# range and I draw 29 inches also.  You may have to play with the point weight, but I usually end up with 145s.  Total arrow weight is around 520 give or take a bit.

You'll be real close. A 1916 might do better for you with 125.

[GRAYBEARD]

MY DRAW IS A BIT SHORTER BUT GET GREAT FLIGHT WITH 2016s ON BOWS FROM 50-55#. LIKE DAVE, I HAVE FOUND 145s TO BALANCE BEST FOR ME.

A good friend of mine shoots the exact same arrow out of a 50# Tomahawk. They fly perfect. I agree that 1916s might do well also.

[Friends call me Pac]

I shoot a 29.5" 2016 arrow w/ 125 gr broadhead with my 50 pound recurve and it shoots great.

2016, 50#@27" Bob lee TD recurve,fly perfect.

[dpjones]

55# bear grizzly w/ 27" draw= approximately 51#
easton gamegetters cut 28" w/ 145 grain tips= bullet holes in  the paper

[Blue Moose]

Ian: 2016s should be a great starting point for that setup. TM

[Aeronut]

I used to shoot Gamegetter 2016's out of my c-c-c-c--wheeled thingy set at 67# using 145gr Muzzy heads.  Can't remember what the length was.  They were the only shafts I could get to fly great out of that bow.

My 47# long bow will shoot 2016 with 145gr up front of a 29.5" arrow.

[ckruse]

I would bet it will work just fine, but as they say every bow and every person are different. I'm betting you'll be ok, though. CKruse

Ok - my turn. I don't intend to distract from OP question, but I have a very similar question and have therefore avoided making a new topic.

My draw is 31" and I shoot a 32" arrow out of a 40@28 Ben Pearson Javelina. I figure I am drawing ~45-50 lbs.

Should I step up to a 145gr head, or go with 125? These arrows have a GPI of 10.6

[Ga.boy]

Ian, if the arrows aren't already cut, I'd cut them a little longer than 29" if you are drawing a full 29". Keeps the broadhead from bumping the shelf.
You would be pulling about 53# with the Grizzly.

2016s with 145gr. bear broadheads shoot great from my 54# Browning Safari I, so I bet they will fly great from your set up.

[BRITTMAN]

2016 cut to 29in with 125 grain broadhead will work perfect from your 50 lbs bow especially if the bow is more center cut .

thanks guys, chuck I like the broadhead hitting the riser, sort of like a reminder that I'm at full draw, saw an article on it in TBM
