Title: Aluminum Arrows For a Kodiak Hunter
Post by: JT- Up North on June 16, 2009, 07:42:00 PM
I'm looking to go with some aluminum arrows for a Bear KH. I shoot a 29 inch arrow with 125 gr points. Was thinking either 1916's or 2016's.I've only shoot woodies for years. Thought maybe you aluminum shooters could point me in the right direction. Thanks

I shoot a Bear Take Down 50# at 28" Draw 28" Shoot a 29" arrow. I shoot XX75 500's (2016) 3- 4" parabolic feathers right offset, 125gr field points or 125gr Snuffer heads. Arrows fly really well with both broad heads and field points.

Sorry guys. I left the most important part out. The KH is 45@28 ,my draw is 28 inches and arrows will be 29 inches. Thanks

1916s would be a closer match for 125 tips.

I too like 1916's for bows with those specs, but do not overlook the 2114 if you find some cheap ones.   ;)

Sounds like a 1916 is the one to go with. If I go with a 145 gr head ,will it change much??

I shoot 47# at my 27" draw w/ a 28" arrow and a 2016 shoots perfect for me...just my choice.

The link below helped me tune my bow with different weighted heads shooting aluminum arrows.
