spine?
« on: December 28, 2009, 11:36:00 AM »
Ive got a 100# 62" mojo stik on its way, and I would like to have a arrow for it when it gets here. The closest I can figure out on stu millers site is a 2419 29" w/200gr tip but that only weighs 657 grains. I would like it to be arround 900 grains. any body know the spine of a 2419. and what is the heaviest, stiffest arrow.

 Holy Moly!!!!!! Not sure of the spine of that arrow but with that kind of draw weight I don't think it matters what you put on the string!!    :biglaugh:
Just one more step please!

You might look at Easton FMJ Dangerous Game 250(17.2 gpp) or the 300(15.4 gpp),add some 100 gr. inserts and it should give you a heavier arrow.And you might look at Grizzly Stick Alaskan or Safari.

I've shot the Easton FMJ Dangerous Game 250 through a 75# mojo stick and  they were almost to weak I had to cut them to 28"  a little short for a 28" draw.

I would post this on the Dangerous Game section too. Those guys are used to hunting with "magnum" arrows.

Need to get some ipe shafts made for you.  23/64 shaft I built weighed 700 gr and tested 110# spine.

you can also stuff a shaft inside the other one to up the weight and spine.

What snag said.  You may need a shaft-in-a-shaft design to stiffen them up.  I don't think there are many shafts out there that are stiffer than the .250 fmj dangerous game shafts.  I'm not sure how much shelf the mojo stick has, but you might be able to build the sideplate out some to get the fmj's to spine correctly.  Not real happy to hear the fmj's didn't work out, since I was thinking of getting them for my recurve and longbow that are around 75# at my 29" draw.  :(

pdk25, the .250 fmj dangerous game shafts might work for you if you go with a lighter point I was using a 200 gr tip.

I know Bear did it and maybe HIll, but many others have and that is to simply insert one shaft inside another. I bet that a carbon inside an aluminum would do it. Finding the right combo might take some experimentation.

elktalker, my arrows would need to be 30".  I might have to use 125 grain tips and build out the sideplate some, then.  Not much for FOC with that.

Ouch! Maybe a cut off fish arrow! That's an anti- tank weapon!

Why?   :eek:  

Sorry, I just can't figure a need for such a bow on this continent. Are you planning a safari?

I'm not sure any two of my arrows combined would be stiff enough!   :scared:  

I wouldn't have to worry about whether I could shoot that bow. I don't think I could get it strung.    :banghead:

For the love of the power.  Heavy bow holders do not use heavy bows because we think it is a requirement to kill the animal.

We do it because it is stinkin fun to pull a lot of stinkin power...leaving nothing in the way of effort on the table.  

That's havin it goin on...you should try it sometime.

Elk, that 2419 spines out at 118 pounds.

Some years ago Easton made a 2440 shaft, the wt of a bare shaft was around 1200 grns.  I still have a few for conversation pieces.  I saw some on the auction site not all that long ago, they are still out there.

The spine of the Easton 2419 is .268 according to their chart.  I have 6 of these shafts left from my compound days.  The are cut off to 30.5 inches and are set up for uni-bushings.  I beleive they use 2315 bushings and inserts.  I would sell them cheap, email me if interested.
