Title: Need a quick response...
Post by: Red Boar on March 02, 2009, 05:12:00 PM
My cousin is at the store buying Legacy shafts.  He is new to traditional archery and this is a nontraditional shop.  He is shooting a K-Mag at 50 lbs., 28 inch draw and 150 gr. Stingers. I suggested 2016's, because I have a similar set-up.   The gentleman at the counter is telling him the Easton chart says the spine is WAY to soft on these.  I am under the impression that the Easton chart is not very accurate for trad. gear.  Who is correct and is there a better chart to go by?  THANKS!!!!    :clapper:

I spine tested some 2016 Eastons once, as they fly well out of a couple of my 50 lb bows.  However, I don't like the "clink" noise they make when they hit each other.  They tested 59 lbs.  I now use 60-65 doug fir and they shoot as just as well, without the "conduit" noise.  I'd think 2016 should be fine.
