Arrows for a JD Berry Vixen
«

I'm looking for either aluminum, or wood arrows. It's a 66" 51@28" ( my draw). With some advice I had received earlier this year, I purchased some 2020 legacy arrows that I have to shoot a heavy head with. These arrows finished up really heavy, to heavy for this weight of bow. The lightest broadhead I have is some Zwickau Deltas 135 ft glue on.
I'm looking for a finished arrow weight of 510 grains.

I would try an Alum. 2016 or a cedar arrow 55-60 spine with 125 gr up front. I think that would be real close.

All of my ASL's ranging from 48-55# use 30" 2016's. It's just a matter of changing point weight and building out the strikeplate if needed. Your Zwickey Deltas would bring the arrow weight a shade under 500 grains if using glue in-glue on adapters or at about your target weight with a standard insert and aluminum adapter.

Richard, I would start full length and see how they shoot, if to weak start taking a 1/2" at a time till you get the results your looking for. If they are to stiff right off [not likely] just bump up your point gr. to 145.....see what happens.

I would try 51-55 spine or 56-60(depends on how well your form is), 11/32 tapers, cut at 29" BOP with three flech 5". 125gr. points. Cedars. Will put you close.

I have two NM Sheltons that are 53# at 28" draw. I only pull 25", though. My arrows are 50 - 55# at 29" length shooting 125 grain points. They will also handle 55 - 60# arrows just fine. Except for the draw length involved, my experience matches what J D Berry described.

Your release from soft to hard can make a ten pound spine difference. Do whatever works for you, but it can be part of the wood arrow equation. Wood arrows are very good at responding to point weight adjustments, without having the arrow weight get out of hand.

I have a 64" 50# Liberty Chief, a 66" 52# JD Berry both at 28". 55/60 Surewood seems to work.
