question for Hoyt buffalo owners

[canuck4570]

waiting for my Buffalo and wish to know if I choose a to big in diameter arrow I want have much room to adjust for center shot
I have chosen 2 arrows
first is the Easton FMJ
second is the Easton super slam 2213
will either of these arrows leave me room to adjust my center shot
the bow is 35 pounds
and will be use for 3D and target only......

Even a FMJ 500 which is the lowest spine in FMJ I think would be too stiff.And a 2213 would be too stiff.For a 35# bow I would be looking along the lines of a .600 spine carbon or in the aluminum arrows maybe like a 1716 or 1813 aluminum arrow.For shooting target and 3D I think you would want a lighter arrow for flatter trajectory.Those arrows you listed will probably be anywhere from 425 to 450 grs. with a moderate weight point like 125 gr. and on the stiff side.

looking at the easton chart
the 2213 yes is on the stiff side at 29 inches arrow but 30 its ok

the FMJ on the other hand is quite ok and has a margin of error on both side of arrow length and bow weight

but not being a expert will gill it a second study on this

thanks....

easton charts will typical over- spine you if you don't watch out.  

both of those arrows you mention are heavyweight hunting arrows, not sure why you would use those for 3D/target, even if you installed huge points on those the total arrow weight would slow the arrow way down on your 35# bow and you would be shooting rainbow arc trajectories.

i would do as JRY says and look into some lighter weight carbons like .600 spine. and try to be at 400g MAX.

that's just my opinion.  there are plenty of real experts around here who will further comment if you wait

after looking at charts...
the Easton Ion 600 seems interesting but it comes 29 inches long only....
I shoot 29 compound it should be OK
guess the only way to find out it to try a couple

in the carbon category would you have another suggestion?

Gold Tip 1535 should work with a 100-125 grain point.
