Wood arrow shaft spine/length advice

[BassBow]

Folks,

I am gearing up for a winter project and would love some advice. I want to make my own wood arrows and have no idea what spine or length I should buy. I am thinking POC. Also, what tip weight would you recommend???

I have a 27.5 inch draw. I am currently shooting GT trads @ 29.25" with 175 on the tip.

Thanks!!!

You can't compare wood to carbon. Need to know what your bow specs are.

My Buffalo by Big Jim is 51# @ 29". I draw 27.5".

yep, need to know at least you draw weight and tip weight.

Even then..I'd still suggest getting some spine test arrows before throwing money at a doz.

the old school rule of thumb ...... arrow spine @ 28" ...... add 5lb for each additional inch of shaft ..... add 5 lb for broadhead ..... add 5 lb for FF string

at 27.5" if you are shooting a 60 lb bow with FF string . You would start with 60 lb spined arrows . No need to add for shaft length , add 5 lb for broadhead and 5 lb for FF . You would need 70 lb spine shafts

With that info I would say a 29" bop 60-65# spine with 125 grain point. Although those Big Jims are big performers, so a 65-70# may be required. My bud shoots one at 54#s and a 29" shaft he draws 28"s he shoots a 70-75# woodie with 125 up front. Snag may come along and have some input or Kelly Petersen is the best for that advise! Shawn
