Hey guys, I know you get tired of answering this question over and over but I just need to nail down some specifics. I'm getting ready to order my first "real set" of woodies and don't want to screw it up!
I am currently shooting a Bear Montana longbow (45# @ 28")non-FF string. I'm working on keeping my draw to 28". So, I guess my question is should I buy arrows spined 40-45 with 125 gr. tips or go with a heavier spine and tweak it with tip weight? Or something totally different? Also, what length?
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
If you want to go with aluminum, try 1916's. I would go with a full length shaft and cut down until I was where I wanted to be. However, since you want to stay at 28 inches, you can adjust point weight. 1916's or 1816's will be pretty close.
With wood, I would get the correct spine range and do the same.
I would talk with the shaft suppler. I went with HEX shifts from Canada I shoot a SS from 3 Rivers 63#@29" I went with 60-65 witch was not stiff enough i should have went with 65-70 the Hex shaft is very strong I missed the target and bounced the arrow off a sugar maple with out it breaking.
I hope this helps.

I just received a dozen sitka spruce shafts for my 45# @ 28" bows. I bought 50-55 spined shafts. I'm going to be shooting 175 grains on the front end.
