Title: Which arrows for my bows?
Post by: brackshooter on March 26, 2008, 02:21:00 PM
I have a JD Berry Scorpion longbow, 64" 68# at my draw.  Also have a Wes Wallace Royal, 66" 63# at my draw.  Shoot 31.5" arrows, draw about 30" to 30.5" with a longbow.  Any ideas what arrows to shoot?  I Was thinking beman 340s with 250 up front, what do you guys think?  What about alums?

thanks guys (and gals),

For aluminums a 2216 or 2117 or 2315 would be a good place to start.A 2216 sounds about right with a FF string.B-50 and a 2117 would be real close.You could probably adjust your point weight and find an aluminum to fly petty good out of both bows.a heavier point on the wallace and lighter on the Berry.The Berry is cut 1/8th from center I believe.Not sure about the Wallace.

I shot 2216s out of my Frederick longbow that is like the Berry and it  was 67#s at 30 and arrows were 31 inches with a B-50 string.

For woodies a 80 to 85 pound spine would be close.

I have never shot carbons much.
