Woodies for my longbow?
« on: December 25, 2013, 12:52:00 PM »
I got some Zwicky broadheads for Christmas. They are glue on, but I currently use aluminum arrows. Instead of getting adapters, this is a good reason to finally try some wood arrows.
I don't know a thing about wood arrows.
The previous owner (Stickhorse) used 85-90. No idea what that means. Can someone on site point me in the right direction?
In the future, perhaps I'll learn to make some, but first I need to get and use some already made.
Thanks and Merry Christmas.

85-90 refers to the spine and would be a good place to start if you guys have the same draw length.  We need a little more info to point you in the right direction like draw weight, draw length, riser cut to center, string material and point weight?

Brian, I can go on for 30 minutes about wood arrows, if you want to give me a call after Christmas we can discuss it.  Go to our web site and call me.  Surewood Steve
