Carbon help
« on: December 19, 2011, 11:34:00 PM »
I shoot woodies and been thinking about trying some carbons in the near future. Have no clue about carbon spine.
 
 Right now I'm shooting a footed 29.5" 70-75# surewood with 200 grains up front and a total arrow weight of 720 grains +or- 5 grains out of a 55# @28" Striker stinger cut to center and drawing 28.5"

 I want to get some carbons set up with around 250 or 300 Grains up front and a total of about 750 or so Grains also would like to have some carbons set up in the 550-600 grain range to try.

 Any suggestion on what carbons to start with for these two different set ups.
Striker stinger 58" 55# @ 28
any wood bow I pick off the rack.

I don't know about getting 700 plus grains without a super stiff spine like a 300 or 250 dangerous game fmj but I shoot a 340 spine cut to 30.25 " with a 100 grain brass insert and 175 grain points and get perfect flight off a Tomahawk SS 55 @ 28.

AD trads would be the ticket. I shoot them out of all my bows 55#-64#, 100gr brass insert and 250 to 300 gr heads my arrows are 31" and I have a 29" draw.
