vaporwood spine??

[imskippy]

Hey guys. I shoot a recurve 52# @28" and R/D longbow 50# @28"

I draw 28" on a good day and would like to shoot the same arrow from both bows. Currently I shoot 50-55 woodies 29" bop with 145gr tips. I have a local shop that I prefer to deal with that has vaporwoods and bemans. I'd like a decent budget minded carbon arrow. I shoot 2 blade 145gr stos on my woodies and would like to add an adapter to these for my carbons maybe a 45gr for 190 up front? Or maybe even heavier? What spine would be best. I can always fine tune the point weight with inserts or adapters. Thanks  Skippy

What works for you guys in a similar range?

If you can get the Vapor Carbonwood 3000's I think they would be a good choice for you. I have been shooting the 3000's in bows from 50 to 60 lbs and just adjusting the tip weight. I recently discovered that when you cut them to 29.5 inches and put 350 grains on the nose they fly like darts out of my 55# longbow.
Good luck..Henry

A Carbonwood 2000 would be a good choice unless you want to load up the front end.Carbonwood 2000 has a spine of .500,3000 is .400,4000 is .350 and 5000 is .300 spine.I shoot 3000 with 100 gr. insert and 125 gr. point from 58-62# longbows,a 3000 would be equal to a GT 55/75,Beman ICS 400.

You want a spine of 0.500.  I was shooting o.400 out of 68 lbs at 30.  Carbonwoods were the first carbon I purchased.  Their spine constancey was just terrible.  In one doz I had spines ranging from 64 to 92 lbs.  They probably improved or they should be out of business.  I'd have your local shop put them on a spine tester for me.
