Recurve Arrows - need help

[Stringplucker43]

Hello All,
I just purchased an Assenheimer recurve.  It is 52# at 28".  I shoot about 29" so it is about 55.5#.  

I am thinking of CX Heritage 350's at about 31".  

Would you add weight up front if 125 gr points are used?

Recommendations very welcome!

thanks,
Slinger2

The 350 is a pretty stiff shaft, even at the longer length. I would go with a 100gr Brass insert and 145-200gr points.

Personaly, I would opt for the CX 250. with 100gr Brass and 145gr points.

im shooting a 60# recurve arrows cut to 28 with 225 up front using cx max. 350  flys pretty good but still stiff went through lots of arrows to find this got some woodies on the way i agree with ky rob i think you would have better luck with the 250s good luck

Guys, thanks...I will go with the 250's with 100gr brass and 145-150 pts...since I pull 29" I am thinking at least 30.5".  Sound reasonable?

I think you will be right on the money. Congrats on a great Bow also, Those Assenheimers are great shooters! Smooth and quiet. Not to bad on the eyes either.

I shoot a 54 @ 29" (my draw) Fatal Styk. I shoot CE Heritage 250's, 30.75 long w/ 145 up front. They are perfect for that bow. Similiar to your set-up?

FF string as well, that matters.

I agree with all of the above.The goldtip trad 55/75s w/100 up front will work good too.Not quite as tough as theHeritage ,but a lil less expensive.The blem ones from Big Jim are a great buy as well,but I think he might just sell the shafts.Yeah,Ky..Rob is right too,the Assenheimer is a great bow.Good Luck.

I have the 250s with standard inserts 125 points 31".  Out of my 51-52#@30 recurve they are to weak.  On the other hand 340 Trad only 31" with 250 point are perfect.  It is a real big jump between 250 and 350.  I would guess the 250s @ 30" standard inserts and 125 or 145 would be just right.

Go with the AD Trad Lights. Very forgiving with spine and easy to tune.
