How long is your draw? That makes a big difference in what weight arrow you will need. I have a Treadway 51@28 and I draw 27" and shoot a 35/55 gold tip cut to 28" with 225 up front...Howard

The brace height on a Treadway in very critical. I was fooling with my the other day and with to 8" and my arrows showed weak spine

i think the 2117s are gonna be too stiff and the 1916s too weak.I think a 2018, or 2115 cut to 29 would be a good bet.You might get some 100 gr,125 gr and 145 gr 5/16th points for either of these sized arrows to give you options for increasing or decreasing spine on those arrows to fine tune.

I think 2117's. I was shooting 29" 2117's with 145gr. points out of my 52# Black Swamp. I draw just over 28".

Did you ask Mike for recommendations. When I got my Treadway back in 2000 Mike's recommendation is what I went with and never looked back.

David Atkinson · « **Reply #10 on:** February 24, 2009, 11:29:00 AM »

Yes i did he also thoght the 2117 would work was tryin to see if anybody had any luck with woods .Gettin ready to try some of my woods today. thanks Dave

Wood is all I use. My woodies for my Treadway are about 10# over draw weight. I believe they are 60#-65# spine weight and my draw weight is 56#@26".

David Atkinson · « **Reply #12 on:** February 24, 2009, 02:58:00 PM »

Yeah mike said that guys are finding that 10# over i have about 100 raw shaft that are 55/60 hoping to get them to shoot my new bow is 58" 54#@28 ..
