Question for the wood shooters
« on: November 25, 2011, 07:24:00 PM »
So I finally broke down and got a new Super Grizzly on the way. I really want to shoot woods out of it. It is 55# and I draw just a smidge past 28" This bow is cut past center and comes with a D97 string. Where would be a good starting point? I have been shooting alum and carbons out of my other bow. Thanks for all of your advice. Andy

I would say 65-70, 29" with 125 gr points. A lot depends on individual technique. A various spine Test kit might save some money and frustration n finding your spine.
Ask me about the Professional Bowhunters Society.

I would say that would be close, you could go a bit longer to start and fool around with point weight!

I second the wood test kit. 65-70 seems a little stiff to me, But i like to shoot a little on the weak side of the spectrum

I like heavier points, 160 to 175! Do you plan on building your own arrows? If not, I would contact some of the arrow makers that are sponsors here, Snag is one of them and made a few arrows for me that shoot realy well! With the specs of your bow, and the way you shoot, they could build you a set of arrows that will shoot good out of the box!!
