Title: Got new toy coming.
Post by: huntnut on November 16, 2007, 11:31:00 PM
I got a new used bow coming next week, I picked up a Chek-Mate Attila 47#@28" from Scattershot here on the classifeds.

I was wondering what you guys think would be the best spine arrow for this type of bow. I pull right at 28" so if it pulls as marked I should be pulling 47# I'm either going to use some carbon, I'm thinking CE  150's with 150gr to 200gr heads would be good or some woodies with I'm guessing 60-65# spine with the same weight heads. But probably go with the carbons for durability.

Huntnut,

I can tell you what I use on mine. IT's 50# @ 26". It shots Gamegetter II's 1916 and 2016 cut to 27.25' about the same with 125 grain points. I am using the 2016's for 145 grain broad heads. Plus it gives me a little added wieght.

With your longer draw I would start with the 2016's. You might even need stiffer. Cuase of the arrow length. I am guessing you are going to cut around 29" +.. Back of point.

And to confuse the issue a little more. My wood arrows are a 55 - 59 spine cut to 27.25" with 125 grain points. Does not seem to be that picky of a bow.

If ya go with the 150 you will need to leave it long, at least 30"s and go with more than 200 up front. Shawn
