Im shooting a 64"56#@29 Greatplainsmen(greatplains bow)cut before center.It shoots a 2117 30" with a 125 field tip like a dart.Im very happy it but like to get some carbons.Thanks in advance
forgot the word 'WITH'before it, sorry.
Check out carbon express heritage 150's
If you are shooting 2117s then look at carbons in the 400 spine.If you want heavy the Heritage 250s will probably work with a 175gn or 200gn point since they are a little stiffer than what you are using.
AD Trad Lites with 200-225 FOC will work fine.
Thanks guys
Blackhawk vapor carbonwoods they're made for traditional bows you should go with the 3000 size (45-60s) cut them an inch to an inch and a half longer than your draw length. The only carbon arrows tougher than these are the grizzly sticks and they are best price by fare. I use 145 grain points but 125s will work to.
When I changed to carbons I bought some 100 gr brass inserts and had some 100,125,145,175,and 200 gr points. Some I had and the rest I ordered from 3 r's. I started bare shaft shooting and triming the arrow and changing point weights until I found a combo that flew like a dart bare. I then crested them and four fletched. In two years of almost daily shooting I have lost one arrow. Pretty tough and they are either straight or broken. No more bent arrows. I shoot GT55/75 XT Hunters with 225gr up front. I shoot 48# @ 28". Arrows are 29.5". For target and 3D I use the aluminum insert (25gr) and a 200 gr point. For stumps and hunting I use the 100 gr brass insert and either a 125 gr broadhead or a 125 judo point.
I would agree try a heritage 150 cut to 30"s and 200-225 up front, I bet with the 225 up front it will be about perfect. Shawn
Can I jump on with a related CX heritage question? I'm 46@28 drawing 28 + a smidge. Will 150s work or am I going to have to go to the 90s? Cut to center and ff string. thx
A 2117 spines 400.He is shooting it and it works from his bow with a 125gn point.If he gets a 400 spine carbon it will work very close to the same with maybe a slight point weight change.I don't understand the thinking that some of you want him to try and shoot a weaker spined arrow with more point weight on the front. :confused: If it was all guess work it would be one thing but he knows what works from his bow and matching it should be a piece of cake. :knothead:
