New widow owner needs arrow spine help
« on: May 08, 2012, 09:04:00 PM »
I just got a used PMAX 62" 52#@28", I draw about 27 inches on the bow. Looking for suggestions on arrow spine. I would like to buy a dozen carbon express Heritage arrows, but a little torn on what spine to get. My arrows are usually cut to around 30". Stu's calculator says I need a ce350 at that length. Seems really stiff to me. Anyone have a similar setup that can help my out? Thanks.

I would start with CE 150's at the length you use now. Widows like stiff arrows but at your draw length  you can cut them down to increase the spine. What weight point/broad head are you using? What weight arrow do you want when your done? If you try CE 250's you may have to keep the arrows long and add a bunch of weight to the point to take out that extra stiffness. Try the classifieds for a few shafts to try or buy a spine test kit.

I am using Easton 2216's cut to 30" with 125 gr. points. They fly great out of my bow.

250's should work just fine.
