Well, I've been bitten by the bug, yep the HH bug.
I bought a 70" Two Tracks Echo from the classifieds and I'm loving it.
The problem I'm having is even though the AD Heavyweight Hammerheads with a 200gn point are flying well, it just seems like I should be shooting wood arrows.
So I'm looking for wood arrow recommendations? The bow is 64"@28 and my draw length is 29.5. I'd like to be at 750gn total arrow weight if possible (the ADs are about 740gn).

Yeah, a Hill bows calls for wood arrows, but I can't help much with arrow selection as I have a very short draw and have to compensate in the opposite direction. Therefore,my Hills like a weaker spine than one would ordinarily expect, but I have had some fellow Hill shooters who draw right at the standard 28" state the their bows also like a somewhat weak spine. Let us know what works out for you. I would start testing at 70-75# spine and tinker from there.

Hill bows and wood arrows. They just go together.

Wood arrows vary a lot in physical weight,I have had wood arrows of the same spine and wood type vary as much as a 100 grs..For heavier wood arrows I went with an ash,douglas fir or maple.They always seemed to be heavier physical weight arrows then like spruce or POC.I would say 70-75# spine would be a good starting point.My Hill style bows seemed to like a lighter spine arrow.But say with a 190 gr. point it may just fit the bow.
