Which arrow would you shoot?
« on: March 22, 2015, 09:33:00 PM »
I shoot a centaur chimera that is 52lbs at 28"s.  I draw 27"s.  What arrow would you shoot?  I currently shoot a 29.5" CE 150 with 250 up front.  I have great flight however I am wondering if maybe I would get better performance with a CE 90.

I know I should probably go with the if it aint broke dont fix it motto but I am just looking for some input.

Thanks,

Kevin

Glad you asked I'm in the same boat and have been thinking about this for the last week. I can't decide what to do.

That depends on what your mission is. If it is hunting at realist ranges I would stick with what you got. On the other hand if you plan on doing something like 3D where the range might go to 40+ yards on those big targets you might consider the lighter arrows. I know your setup could do it as well but a flatter shooting arrow makes distance estimating a lot easier.Of course this IMO

Oh sure... you could probably make that work for you. but you are going to have a lot flatter trajectory and faster arrows to get used to..... It won't be as forgiving, but it might be fun.

Your current setup sounds good... Not for certain but I thought the CE90s have unique or smaller components which may not be as versatile. Certainly up to you for the decision, but you asked for opinions... :-)

At a 28" draw, and my 53# Blacktail, I could not get 150's to fly. I cut one as short as I could and it was still too weak.  So I moved up to 250's and could add some weight.

I think I'd stay with what you are using now.
