Shrew bow, which Beman Bowhunter Arrow?

[AlanF]

Which Beman Bowhunter shafts should I get to use with my 56" Shrew Classic Hunter longbow.  It's 46# @ 29" and I'm drawing about 28.5".  Would like to cut the shafts to 29" and use a 200gr field point and broadhead.  I've been shooting Arrow Dynamic Trad Lites at 29" and they do great but would like a less expensive shaft for roving, small game, etc.  Thanks guys.

500

Alan,
I've shot 29-5/8ths" Beman Black Max and MFX 500's w/175 gr. heads in bows that are 46# @ 28".  500's would be my guess but center shot on different bows can mean alot. I've gone to longer 400's with more weight up front to get a heavier arrow for hunting.  If you want some to try I'll make you a deal on some 500's if they don't sell at a shoot I'm going to this weekend.  E-mail me if interested.

My Super Shrew is #52-53 @ 29.5". It likes CX150 30.5" with 200g on the front. A CX150 is .487 I think, so I would go with the 500.

I shoot the 500s with 200grains up front and 250 with broadheads, 28 1/2 shaft.  They fly fine for me with weights from 45-54#...Doc

Thanks guys.  With Ron's recommendation to add 15lbs for spine with wood arrows I wasn't sure which carbon would be best.  Think I'll giv the 500 a try.

Alan, I just ran your specs thru the dyn spine calc and you should be right on the money with a 500 @ 29" using the standard alum insert and a 200grn point. = 474grn arrow / 21.1%foc

I use the 500 with my 56 lb. Super Shrew.  28 1/2 cut, with 100 gr. brass insert and 175 Grizzly Stik Samurai broadheads.

[Smallwood]

Forgot to say, that if you want to play with that point weight, you can change out the insert for a brass insert, and adjust your point weight to come up with the 200grns up front.

Thank you Smallwood and Red Boar.  I'm going to go with the 500's.
