[joe skipp]

Arrow Dynamic Trad Lites would work fine in that bow.

[bamboo]

my guess---1916--w/125g  on the alum

[ncsturkey]

150 Carbon Express

[soaring eagle]

35/55 gold tips, 500 beman mfx's

[Shawn Leonard]

The 150s will be way stiff Marco, you will need them 30"s and at least 225-250 up front the 35/55 and the 500s would get ya close and ya may get away with 175 up front if ya left them long but most likely ya would need 200 or so. I am sure ya could shoot the carbonwood 2000 cut to 30"s or 30.5"s and 175 up front and ya would be good! Shawn

Marco, what do you actually draw?

[bayoulongbowman]

27 3/4..every bit of...

[vermonster13]

You're right at the cusp of 1816/1916. Play with point weights to get it where you want it.

[bayoulongbowman]

yep...I have 12 1816....David I hope the 1916 work I love the Legacy arrows! hope they work! thanks  

[vermonster13]

125s should work fine with the 1816s I'd try 175 for the 1916s though if the bow is quick you may be able to shoot a lighter head, if not you may need a little heavier. Either way you should be able to tune them with a little effort. have fun with it.

[Lost Arra]

If you shoot a 29" arrow you might look at a Carbon Express Thunderstorm SE.

[Bigriver]

I got a longbow this year with the exact same specs. I shoot the carbon express 100`s with 145grain tips. I put the 2 grain weight tubes in. They shoot really nice, I left them 30". I did some experimenting with 1916, cedars, & carbons. They are the only shafts I could get to fly perfect.

 It was my first experience with such a lightweight bow & it was more difficult to get the arrow flight I am used to. Got it done eventually. Lots more trial & error than I`m used to.

Marco -

Hey Buddy, come down to Chester this weekend and I'll help you get that Massie tuned up. You'll be knocking dimes.......heck, you'll be knocking aspirins out of the air by Saturday afternoon. You NEED to get outa the swamps for a while.

Nice bow there, Marco. I know this isn't the time to ask, but oh well I'll will anyways, lol. If you ever get a hankerin' to let that bow move on.... please contact me, thanks.

Sounds like you can get the 1916's to work.

Hey Vermie, how's everything? Good to see you back at it again. Hope all is well.

Hey Piney,  

If you really have the Jones for a Massie, Jim Belcher is working with Jeff to offer new Massie bows...www.belcherbows.com...

Also, if you're looking for a shorter Lb, the Turkey Creek Lb's are similar in profile to the Massie Longhorns, only "62 and Doug's workmanship is great...he comes from a self-bow background and it definitely shows...

[Cutty47]

Forgot to add that Jeff Massie is something of a mentor to Doug as well...

Oh, with all these fancy bows you've been buying and shooting over the last year, just wondering if you still shoot your Quinn's?

[bayoulongbowman]

Cutty, you are correct sir    ...thanks so much trad buddys ...Danny is that shoot Sunday too? thanks mark

[vermonster13]

Feeling better everyday piney. Thanks.
