A setup for my mom?

[Bakes168]

OK guys, I need your help on this one. Lets say my mom gets a 35# Red Stag Longbow from Samick, because she enjoys shooting and wants her own bow, and for me to shoot a little to recover from tendonitis.
I don't know her draw length but lets say it's around 25". What arrows would you say would be fitting for this bow, and heavy enough for her to maybe hunt with. I was looking at Easton XX75 Platinum Plus shafts, that I would cut to maybe 28" and put a 125gr. tip on with insert. Would this work?
Or should I buy a bigger aluminum, say 2016, and leave them longer and/or put a little more weight up front?

What have been your experiences with lighter bows like this?
I know there are a lot of variables, just tell me what you think.

Thanks,
Zack

35# at 25"?

I pull 26 and change, and use a 1716 for my 35 pound bows. 35 is not what I would pick for most hunting. Dave has a good point, what is the bow rated at, and what is your draw?

Sorry, the bow is 35# at 28", my mom probably draws around 25". My draw is 28 1/2", but this is for my mom, not me, I would just shoot my 2016's.

I wouldn't have your mom hunting with a bow that is going to be pulling around 26# at her draw. As for arrows 2016s will be over spined for both of you.

[Killdeer]

Yup.
the 1716s would work for her, though, and you, if cut to accommodate your draw length. I think.   :rolleyes:

Like Killdeer, my wife shoots 1716's from her 35# bow. Try one cut to 27.5" w/125grn. point for her. That should work just fine.

[vermonster13]

Cut them 29 and you can both shoot them just by changing point weight.

Thanks guys and gal, that all makes sense.
