carbons for black widow
« on: November 29, 2014, 09:58:00 AM »
are any of you guys running carbons through your widows?
As I posted earlier relative to arrow rest on a widow, I have been shooting longbow for quite awhile, and always made my own arrows. I am getting a rather erratic flight using the widow/wood arrow combo. The poundage of my longbow and the widow are very close to each other, but flight characteristics are dramatically different.
Thought I would by some carbon shafting just to get things going in the right direction with the new widow.

Gold Tip 55/75 and Carbon Express 250 should work fine. I have experience with both shooting Widows at that weight.

I'm shooting GT 55/75s at 53# from the bow in my signature below. Shoot great with 125-200 grain heads and 100 grain brass inserts. 29" arrows.

I shoot similar 55#  at 30.5" draw.  Got caught between GT 5575 and 7595.  Found Heritage 350s to have the better spine. Perfect bareshaft with 270 up front.

Bears can attack people- although fewer people have been killed by bears than in all WWI and WWII combined.

51# @ 28" on my widow, I can shoot either 3555 or 5575 GT out of mine.
Too many bows to list, and so many more I want to try!  Keep the wind in your face, and your broadheads sharp.
