Are there any carbon arrows for ligh draw wt
« on: February 16, 2009, 08:23:00 PM »
I'm trying to get the wife's bow tuned for her.
She's drawing around 26 1/2".  The bow is 28 lbs @ 27".  Damon Howatt 66" B50 string.  Right hand.
I've tried up to 300grains up front on full length Easton ST Epics.  Flying knock right and point left.  
Also trying vapor 2000 and same thing!  I believe this means spine is too stiff.  
Anybody got suggestions?  I would like carbons for durability, but looking for suggestions in aluminum too.  
The combination shoots like a tack driver for me at 29 1/2" draw same bow.  I did a search already but could be I didn't ask it right.  I think I can use 50 or 100 gr brass inserts in the vapor 2000 shafts.   Maybe I need to try that to see if it will work.  Ideas anybody?Thanks in advance.

Take a look at the Gold Tip Ultralights. I'd bet they will work.
Any Bow shop that sells arrows should have some to try.

Redlines or Beman Flash, you should be able to get a suitable spine shaft. The GT Ultralites and Easton ST Epics only go down to a 600 spine.

Either Easton Redlines or Beman ICS Energy shafts go all the way to 1000 deflection.The Beman is the same shaft just cheaper and .006 straight.The lighter spines are very small diam shafts and require their own screw in points and half out inserts if you don't use a nib.

My wife shoots nearly the same length and poundage with full length Beman 780's.Her bow is FF and high performance though.

IMHO even the .600 ultra light will be too stiff unless you use an extreme ammount of tip weight and then she will be shooting so much weight it will perform poorly.

I found Carbon impact to have the lightest spined arrows with "an insert".  You can find them on the internet and if you cannot find a dealer near you they will sell them to you direct.

My wife uses the Beman Energys.  They are the same shaft as the redlines but cheaper.  I think hers are around .650 spine out of a 25@26 bow.  One thing to think about though is the components on the Redlines and Energys are pretty pricy.
Horne Mountain bow 60in 57@29
Horne Combo Hunter Longbow 64in 59@28
Dryad Orion Longbow  60in 60@28
Hoots 54in 48@28

Carbon Express makes several in low spine weights in the Predator line(although they're not all list on the website). Its an entry level shaft, but I sure it'll get the job done.

The Gold Tip Entradas are about a .600 spine, and they come full length.

Spend the money and get here setup with good arrows.The redlines or energys with nib points will put her hitting targets instead of lobbing a heavy arrow at one. jmo
....Quality deer management means shooting them before they get tough....
