need help switching from aluminums to woodies
« on: May 27, 2007, 09:35:00 PM »
What spine woodie would be equivelent to a 2219 cut to 31" with 175 grain point. I have looked at different spine charts and I would rather get some input. I am looking for a good starting point to bare shaft tune. my bow is a 65#@30" ancient spirits  thunderhawk recurve. The 2219's were bare shaft tuned and fly excellent, but I would like to shoot some heavy woodies...possibly hickory. Any input would be appreciated.


thanks,   chris

According to Foxfire Archery's spine chart, the 2219 spines at 95#. Overbo is right on.

My chart says at your draw lenght to use 2216's which the chart says 84#-86# but I would probably use 70-75# spine. But thats just me.My 2 cents  :D    :D    :D

Stick:
Contact Paul Jalon at Elite arrows.com. He'll send you something to try, and then make some to fit. Great guy(not just because we hunt together)
Is it too late to be what I could have been?

Anything less than 90 lbs and you`ll be wasting
your time. 30" draw and 65 lbs is alot of push for a wood shaft to take.

You are gonna love how your bow spits out heavy chunks of wood. It will FEEL noticeably different when you shoot. Good luck.
