carbon arrows for 60# longbow?

[tex-archer]

Just wanted to hear some carbon arrow set ups for a 60# longbow like a Kanati.

CX heritage 350 is a great shaft for that weight.

AD Trads.

Heritage 250s may work, or GT trad 55-75s

[tex-archer]

I was looking more for how much weight and what size points others are using.

[Danny Rowan]

I shoot AD Trads at 30.5" bop with 100 gr brass insert and 300 gr points out of my 62# Cari-Bow Slynx. This puts my arrows at about 760-780 grains with the nocks, four fletch and cap dip.

I'm a dyed in the wool, longbow and wooden arrow guy.  That said, I was talked into trying AD trads by two very old time stickbow legends.  After baulking for years, I gave them a try in two of my longbows that I draw greater than 60-pounds.  All I can say is they were the single easiest arrows to shoot well I've ever used.  The weight forward tapered design appears to work as advertised, and all the praise given these shafts by the two old gents proved true.

As good as they perform, I still fall back on wooden arrows, as working with wood is a big part of my archery fun.  But, my limited experience with the AD Trads have been most positive.

I have two set ups for my 60# R/D with an 8 strand D10 string and beaver balls.  CE-250 29.25" with a standard insert and 250 grains up front for a total wt. pretty close to 600 grains.  The second is a CE-350 28.875" with a 100 gr. insert and 250 up front for total wt of 720 grains.  Both are fletched with 3x5" feathers.

I have a quillian bamboo longhunter its 57#@26 I pull 28" shooting GT 5575 30BOP WITH 175 TIPS work good for me

[tex-archer]

At the moment I'm shooting gt 5575's with 175 grain points and 50 grains behind the insert. Maybe I need to add some more weight.

[Possum Head]

I'm doing full length 55-75 G/T with 100 gr. brass behind 175 gr b/heads and 5" parabolics. 60 lb Lost Creek Life Ender

[kbaamigo]

I shoot a 60# Pronghorn with GT trad 55/75 30BOP, 100 gr insert and 175 or 200 gr head with 5" shields.

What length do you have them cut to?

[tomcfc11]

On my 60# thunderchild and 58# kanati I'm running 340 trad only cut to 29.5 with 100 grn inserts and 175 simmons tigershards. Running long wraps from Big Jim's and 3 5" trueflights, they fly like darts. I'm drawing right at 28"s

[Bear Heart]

I draw 29" and like my arrows 30-31" . Standard insert with 145 grain points so I can shoot Woodsmans

[bruinman]

I like 5575's cut to 29.5" 100 grain insert and 190 grain interceptors up front. I draw 28" bow is a 62 pound Monarch longbow.

[tex-archer]

Mine are 28 3/4" long. I ordered some brass 100 grain inserts that I'm gonna try with my 175 grain points.
