Toelke Super-D and wood shafts....recommendation please !
« on: April 05, 2017, 09:52:00 AM »
Got a new to me 64" Super-D coming, 52@28, and I draw 29. I'm wanting to shoot wood out of this bow, probably with a 150-175 grain head. I've never shot wood before, only carbon and aluminum. Any recommendations on spine ?

I haven't gone to wood arrows yet, so I can't advise - but hey, are you gonna post pictures of that Super-D when it comes in?

My Super D was cut to center.  Figuring 54@29 = 55-59 spine.  Add 10 lb for 30" BOP and 5 for point weight, I'd start with 70-74 spine.  Calculated spine is often correct, but variations between bows and shooters can change what actually shoots best.  Test arrows are a big help finding the best spine range.

Good luck!  Stick with good shafts and you will find wood to make a very good arrow.

new bow, huh?  Sounds like a good deal!  :)  


I'd go with fletchers suggestions.  He has been very good to me in the past.  Even built me a test kit.

I'd guess 70-75 with 145 or 75-80 with 160.  Mines a little heavier, but my draw is a touch shorter.

A lot of arrow makers offer a testing kit with several different spines. The kit will allow you to identify the best spine. If you are buying customs Elite Arrows is a great place to start. The gang has a lot of great custom arrow makers. Have fun with them    :archer2:

I have a 64", 52#@28" Super D and I draw 29"s. I find that 65-70 lb. shafts cut 30" throat-of-nock to back of point with 125 grain points shoot very well for me. I have also shot 70-75 lb. shafts with 160 grain points and they shot very well. Jim

I'm no expert but as a beginner who had a frustrated start with wood arrows I highly recommend you get them pre-tapered on the nock end
