Cedar Arrow Spine

[Coach Jones]

I am wanting to try some cedar arrows again and wanted to see what spine you all would recommend.  My bow is a Kota Kill-um shooting 43 lbs at 26 inches and I would like to tip them with a 125 grain broad head and point.  Thanks for any input.

[The Whittler]

Is the bow a recurve or long bow, is it cut to center, past center or before center. Is 26" your draw and are you useing Dacron or FF string.

[Coach Jones]

FF string, 26 is my draw length, 60 inch recurve, and bow is cut very close to center.  I was hoping to have a 27.5 or 28 inch arrow.

45-50# would probably work, but I like to overspine a bit and would go with 50-55#

[crazynate]

I would also say 50-55 spine

[cedar]

3X 50-55

[Coach Jones]

Thanks

You're probably right in the middle, and could get either to work.If you go 50-55, I'd start with a slightly longer arrow, or go ahead and cut them for 28"BOP, but maybe go to a 145 head.

[Coach Jones]

Talked with Tim Finley today at Kota Bow Company and he suggested a 50-55 and I also talked with Suzanne St. Charles who also suggested a 50-55.  So I guess that is my arrow.  I believe I will order from Suzanne but would also like to consider Paul at Elite Arrows but have not been able to get into contact with him.
