need some carbon arrow smarts please!!
« on: August 23, 2011, 06:58:00 PM »
I got a new to me bow and it shoots a 2018 arrow 29" long with a 190 grain broadhead like a bullet. A perfect balance in arrow weight for my eye as far as what I`m used to shooting so there is no relearning period with this "new" bow. Only problem is I only have one 2018!!! I want to buy some carbons and was wondering what carbon arrow you carbon wise fellers would recommend to be awful close to the arrow I`m shooting.I`m looking at the beeman hunters....cause they cheap.Thanks,RC.

A CE Heritage 150 spines at .487 and is 10 gpi.  Pretty heavy for a carbon of this spine.  I bet if you cut it short say 28-29 inches it should bareshaft for you with your 190 grain heads.

RC why not pick up some 2018. They are a tough shaft and you got that side figured out. If they still make them I would go that route. The carbon shafts maybe a real learning curve despite the recommendations that are being made and it is not cheap. Just my opinion, tom.

RC, if you are interested PM me your address and I'll send you some carbon shafts. You can use them as long as you like. Fletch them or leave them bare. some are cut to 29" BOP and a couple are full length. Includes Grizzly Stiks, Trad Only and Arrow Dynamics. When you're done with them pass them on to some one else.

For the bows I want to shoot carbon out of, I ended up just using the Arrow Dynamics arrows.  They are so forgiving of spine, I just put on the point weight I want and do some fine tuning with the brace height. The Hammerheads are really tough, too.

RC,

I've got several types of carbons all cut to 29 BOP. If I ever run into you at Stewart we can try a few on your new bow.
BTW. Congrats on the new bow.

Agree with a few guys up top.  Arrow Dynamics, I have only shot the Hammerhead lites very spine tolerant in many different bows.  I have tried Trad onlys, Gold tip and CE Heritages and have been most happy with AD!
More bows than I should have!
