Arrow Sizing for Hoyt Gamemaster
« on: November 01, 2008, 09:42:00 PM »
I just bought a new Hoyt Gamemaster II with a 45# draw I have a 30 inch draw to which I calculated the actual draw for me will be 51#. The arrows I have in mind are a XX75 Easton super slam 2215 cut to a 28.5 length. My question is what do you guys think of this setup and what would you change to make it better thanks.

How are you shooting 28.5" arrows with a 30" draw? Better scale the bow to be sure of the weight. The Gamemasters have a history of being heavier than marked.

I'm assuming you meant a 30.5" arrow. BTW; what's the point weight?
Blacktail TD Recurve: 66", 42# @ 30". Arrow: 32", 2212. PW: 75 Grains. AW: 421 Grains. GPP: 10.02

I have exactly the same set-up; 45# GMII and I draw 30".  The bow actually draws 29# at 28".  Most everyone reports that GMs daw about 4-5lbs. heavier than marked.

I shoot 400 spine carbons cut to 31" with 200 grains up front and the bareshaft great.  I have a Centerest Flipper by NAP so it is set-up pretty much center shot.  A 2117 flys well also so I think the 2215 would work great with a little tuning.

I shoot a Dorado with GMII limbs at 53#.  I shoot Easton XX78 2117's with a 150 grain tip and three offset 5 inch feathers cut to 28 inches.  Fly very well for me with a tab and Hoyt's factory string.  On the string I have a floss nock and Hush puppies.  All I have for a side plate is seal hair.
