I have recently gone through the process of calculating arrow specs using Stu Miller's calculator. Great tool. Thanks Stu.
I am just getting back into traditional archery after a long layoff. Back in the day I had very little knowledge of arrow tuning. Basically just bought properly spined XX75 shafts and fletched them myself with parablolic feathers. So I need some assistance and advice. With my new setup I hope to hunt small game, whitetails and turkeys, as well as some 3D and general target shooting/stumping.
I have on order an Elite Classic longbow from Nate at Bama Bows. Can't wait to see this beauty. Curly maple riser, red elm limbs with osage orange accents. Anyway, back to arrow stuff.
The bow will be 64" built to draw 40# @ 27" (my true draw length). Which combination would you guys choose (I'm leaning towards the CE Heritage, but would like to try GT Trad Blems if Big Jim has any 1535s. I will be using a stock B-50 sting, but hope to add a 10 strand FastFlight string.
Here are the results. I know they are very similar, but I'd like to hear what you guys think. If you notice any glaring mistakes let me know. I realize the type is very small, but if you hover over the chart you should have the option to zoom.
Stu_Miller_photobucket Also I would like to try VPA Terminators on this arrow. Do you think a 3 blade is too much to "push" with this draw weight? Or should I go with a 2-blade like a Simmons Shark model of appropriate weight or other broadhead altogether? Thanks for all the help.
