Recommend me an aluminum arrow.....
« on: May 02, 2012, 11:19:00 PM »
Here's my specs;

Morrison Cheyenne, cut a little over center 66#@31½"

I like a heavy arrow (700gn+) & 200-300gn broadheads. Right now I'm shooting Beeman MFX carbons, full length with 100gn inserts & 200gn points.
I don't want to dick around building or buying new heads, that is absolutley not an option. All I have are screw in 200, 250 & 300 grainers but I have 5 lifetime's supply & that's what I'm sticking with.

I've never shot aluminum arrows before, simply because I can NOT figure out Easton's numbering system. I don't even know where to begin! I know what the numbers mean, I just don't know how to relate them to the correct dynamic spine I need.
I tried going the route of their chart, but shooting heads that weigh twice their maximum recommendation makes it useless.

As the rest have said,AT LEAST a 2219 for your weight and especially your draw length.What I do now is stick 4" of hardwood dowelling up the front(lightly sand 5/16",fit perfect)to make them even tougher.Hot melt the dowelling ,the same as your inserts.

Another vote for 2219's. That is what I shoot with 125 grain heads out of 71# bows and they shoot great. As already said they are a heavy, tough shaft that will take a lot of abuse. Another benifit of 2219's is you can find them just about anywhere, if someplace stocks aluminum arrows, they will have 2219's.
