Title: Which Arrow for Wife
Post by: Phillip Fields on August 03, 2009, 05:03:00 PM
I am trying to decide on a hunting arrow for my wife. She will be shooting an A&H ACS. It is 47lb at 28" and should pull about 39-40lb at her 25" draw. She has some Epic 600's and some Easton 1816's that shoot pretty good off this ACS. With 125gr Magnus Stingers the EPICS weigh about 360gr and the Eastons about 415gr.

We are going to hunt pigs/javeline with 7th Age in January. Will one of these arrows sufffice? If not what would you recommend.

Keep em sharp!
Phil

I would want them shooting better than "pretty good."  I would want them flying perfectly.  Use the one that is flying the best....it will kill javalina easily.

My concern on these arrows is if they are heavy enough. These arrows have not been tuned to this bow, but I don't think they will need much tuning. I may have to shorten them a bit to make them stiffer as they are tuned to her Massie Longhorn which is a couple of pounds lighter.

Try them first, and revisit the weight issue.  With either arrow she is over 9 grains per pound.  Don't weigh her down too much.  That 400 grains will go through a javalina's vitals slicker than fresh snot on a doorknob.  Get them flying perfectly and don't worry about the weight so much.
