I wanna shoot in a tourn. requiring wood arrows.

[GMMAT]

2 issues....

1.  We have a big archery torunament that requires LB shooters to shoot wood arrows.

Heck....I've JUST gotten to where I know which carbons are right for my bow....and I know NOTHING about wooden arrows.  Nothing.

2.  If I can find a good match, I'd also love to take a deer with them (and my LB).  Maybe not this season.....but maybe so.

I'll be shooting a Mohawk LB (boo core) about 48-50#'s @ my DL (28").  I was thinking of going the 3Rivers route and getting the 3-4 arrow set that has varying spines.

If someone knows, though, it'll save me some $$, potentially.

Just something I want to explore.

Thanks.

Yes, get the kit..hell get the ones that has Your draw weigh in them. I think its kit B & C you want. It will give you  2 of each spine from 35 to 75#'s ( If I remember right ). Start with the heaviest ones first and only cut 1 of them. Once you get 3 - 4 of them at different spines. You'll be able to fine tune them to fine the best match. Use your carbons as a guide.


From the top of my Head I would think 65-70#@29" BOP w/145 point as a started.

+5# for FF or better string
+5# for each inch over 28"
+5# for each step up in point weight

GMMAT, I would just about swear you will need 55#-60# wood shafts for your setup. I shoot 55#-56# LB, I need 60#-65# spined arrows for my setup with a 125 tip. I've shot cedars, lodgepole & sitka spruce shafts all in the same weight of 60#-65# all tuned awesome!
   I really feel that 50#-55# will be under spined at your draw length.

Give Paul Jalon a call at Elite Arrows.  He will get you set up and also deliver an awesome arrow at cheaper than most.

That being said I would suspect the same as above, a 55-60 should shoot well out of that bow.

29 inch, 55 to 60 cedar shafts should do the trick with 125 grains on the front end. I shoot 60-65 in my 55 to 58 pound LB's without a problem, with the same draw length.

When i run into that i just shoot in the recurve class.

[GMMAT]

I want to shoot that class with my recurve.

You need 60-65# cedars for that bow in my opinion.  If you can tell me your setup, spine, point wieght of your carbon setup, I can point you more in the right direction.

In other words, I can shoot 2020 alums thru my zipper with 125gr point well.  You can translate that to 70# woodies there abouts.

I'll let you know as soon as the bow gets here....lol.

Right now, I'm shooting the exact same bow, but in a 52# model.  CX 150's @ 30" with a 50gr brass insert and 125gr. tips.  I hope to shoot the exact same arrow out of the new bow.  Only 2-4#'s DW difference.  Everything else is the same.

From the info you gave, thats about the same spine of a 2016 with 125gr point, actually a tad stiffer than a 2016.  So if that works for a 52#, I would say a 60# cedar would work great for your new bow.  I would go on the heavy side, that way you can add heavier points and have good FOC.
