Title: Carbon Arrows???
Post by: NANUK on October 17, 2008, 05:14:00 PM
I was thinking of switching to carbon arrows for hunting.  I shoot 51lb bow, 31" cedar stiks with 125 grain heads.  What size carbon shaft do I need?

I'd say 500's but don't buy them on my word...

We need to know more about the bow , like longbow or recurve is it cut past center, actual make and model would help. What is your actual draw length and how many pounds is the bow at your draw. Probably get ya darn close with that info. Shawn

I shoot an Allegheny Mountain bow made by Bill Kerner.  It's a recurve and pulls 51lbs @ 30". My draw is 30". It appears to be cut past center.
