Arrow construction

[Forrest Halley]

Which is a better route for a bow that you are training up to the draw weight on?

[Forrest Halley]

I have ordered a 100# longbow from Nate at Bama Bows and I am looking for guidance on the approach to take on arrows for the bow while I train into the peak draw weight. Thanks for your vote and any constructive advice that you'd like to share.

Best of Luck in the coming season,

It would not matter if it was heavy weight or not........I get in the general area and fine tune the rest of the way.  150# or 50#  the  process and the issues are the same!

I'm different. I like several batches of different spined arrows.

Depends on how you're going to train for the weight.. if you are going to be shooting that bow and will be straining to pull the weight for some time you won't really be able to tune the arrow/bow combination anyway.. So I'd get a spine that should be able to handle the bow weight and work on a blind bail until I could handle the weight.. then I'd start tuning..

Makes no sense to have different spines. If your shooting the 100# bow to work up to poundage you won't be making full anchor until you can actually pull the full weight of the bow. Until that time  there is no reason to worry about accuracy, your just developing muscles right now. Once your able to reach full draw and can shoot 6-10 arrows a set, then you can worry about fine tuning and accuracy.
Just get some spined for 100-110# and shoot them and have FUN!

Thanks for the input guys. I'm going carbon so I'll Stu Miller it and correct later. I've got it to the point where I can use 250gr heads at  28" and then I'll go for 200's when I reach 30".

Found out today that there is some glue that will release in hot water and set in cold water. I intend to use this until I have settled on a particular fine tuning, have reached full draw and am ready to hunt.
