Arrow help needed...again
« on: October 14, 2010, 06:55:00 PM »
I'm lookin at arrows for my new longbow and am confused about sizing. I know that 1916's are the size that I need, but they arent sized this way for the Gamegetter XX75 shafts. (theyre sized by 500, 400, 340, etc.) I shoot 31" arrows on 40# at my draw. Is there a size in the GG that matches the 1916 size? Thanks very much in advance!

I think the closest is the 500's. I think they are 2016's. Hap

The GG 500s (2016s) are very versitile and economical.  You can leave them an inch or so longer or use a heavier head and they will perform. I think they come at 32".  Just bare shaft tune them down a bit at a time.  I've shot them from bows 35# up to 50# with good results.
