100+ gold tip arrow: help! what lenght and what broadhead weight up front to spine out arrows for 90# bow,any help would be appreciated
Whump Sez: What kind of bow---how much center shot is it and what is your draw length? If you are shooting a recurve that is cut to or past center you will have more leeway on length. Longbow not cut to center---length will be very critical. You will need to decide what weight broadhead you are going to shoot and work it from there by starting out shooting a full length shaft with field points of the same weight and cut them down about 1/2" at a time for a recurve and 1/4" at a time for a long bow not cut to center. You are starting a tuning adventure for your particular type and style of shooting so don't rely on a length and point weight that someone else is shooting and try to match that to your bow and draw length. :readit: Hunt Safe.
I believe that carbon arrows need to be tuned to trad bows and there are alot of variables.The same arrow for a 90# recurve may not work for a 90# longbow.You have a starting static spine of the 100+ Gold Tip but you need to adjust the dynamic spine by shooting it and trimming or adding weight up front.There is not most likely alot of guys here shooting 90# bows,I know there are some that shoot that much weight.It's hard to say cut to this length and use a 200 gr. broadhead for your setup.I shoot upto my 83# DQ Bamboo longhunter,I shoot Blackhawk Carbonwood VMAXX 5000 with 100 gr.insert and 175 gr. point out of it.I haven't shot 100+ GT's,wish I could be more helpful with those.
i shot 100+ gold tips 175 gr heads with 100 gr brass inserts and fish tank tubing in the shaft for added weight out of my 90# silver tip i have a 31" draw
