Title: Need some help picking the right spine woodie
Post by: MikeW on November 12, 2008, 01:11:00 PM
for a ladies bow.
Recurve 25#-30# at 25"
I've been liking Douglas Fir lately,they come straight,take stain nicely and seem pretty durable so far.

These will be strictly for target and 3D,she doesn't hunt.

Get me in the ballpark for a 5/16" arrow cut 26" BOP with a 125 grain point.

TIA

Go to Rose city archery, scroll down til you find amo spine deflection chart.  Its for ceder, but should work for your fir shafts too.  Swabby

Is that chart with a 125 grain head? It doesn't say.

read both pages. It might be good for you, it mightn'd be.
Douglas fir is amazing looking wood when stained imo.
