long arrows

(1/2) > >>

wahoo:
just bought a osage bow from Owl bows. 50 lbs @ 25 inch and I have some 50-55 laminated birch shafts. Ed said I should try building them long 29 to 30 inches bop, thought they would fly great. Any ideas

Dano:
Ed is the man, he would know.

Pat B:
I draw 26" and cut all my arrows to 29"bop. I like the extra weight and the extra length makes the arrow more flexible so its easier for it to get around the bow. These days I shoot mostly hardwood shoot arrows or cane arrows but even with cedars I cut them long.     Pat

wahoo:
thanks. I am doing it. 29" bop and the bow is cut just a hair off center so it should be pretty forgiving. Just wanted a little feed back on the new site .

George Tsoukalas:
Yup, I like'em long too. 29 inches bop for a 26 inch draw. Jawge
