Mine are a bit different by todays standards. First off they are all Arrow Dynamics. That said, let me be clear, I spent a bit more on these shafts and as Terry has mentioned in another post.... I got the matched sets and bought likely over $1000.00 of them in several different models.
One set I use on a 45Lb Widow MA Dacron string, old frost finish is as follows... What is now called the Lite model, 28.5 inches +/- .250, 135 gr Zephyr Scirocco w/o bleeder, 100 gr adapter and aluminum insert and allowing for three 5" feathers, hand painted etc. I come out at 441 gr. or roughly 15.45 gpi. with my calculations I am close to 20% foc. This set up as shot through several deer at the 20 to 30 yard range.
My second set of Trad Hunters is for a heavier then 40-45 so I will not elaborate on them other then to say the shoot through stuff.
For my 45lb Widow PL I chose a straight walled shaft and followed the recipe from the MA save for a change in shafts make. I was able to come up with similar performance criteria with just a bit of fiddling using the same broad head but changing up some of the bits and pieces. Still had 20% foc. I even carry a good luck arrow in the quiver on this bow tipped with a 1960's Bear Razor Head that I had on arrows way back then. Good enough for me.
Yea, I like my Widows and my AD shafts.
The recipes for these arrows were all worked up a good number of years ago but are still good to go.
