Title: Looking for help with arrow for new Dryad Orion
Post by: House on January 21, 2010, 07:05:00 PM
Recently purchased Dryad Orion with Longbow limbs.  FF string 63# at 28in. (I draw 28), can't remember if center cut is 1/8 or 1/16.

Would like to find arrow/head combo coming in between 650 and 750 grains with a 29in. arrow.  Pretty flexible on head (150 to 275 gr.)  

Interested in trying AD trad, CX Heritage, GT....but can't afford to buy a bunch of arrows to test.  Any help narrowing my search would be great.  Looking to hunt whitetail, muleys, elk, and turkeys with same arrow if it makes any difference.  I might also mention there isn't a patch of dirt anywhere around here that isn't hiding a large rock, so durability is important.

Thanks for any help in advance,

Travis

Thanks Mike,

I appreciate it.  I love "tinkering" but at this point can't afford to tinker with a large variety of shaft brands/spines.  Hopefully this will allow me to tinker without them.

I ran some numbers with it and you should be right on the money real quick.

use 1/16 on the cut to center.

Man if you have any 2117 alums laying around put some 175 gr. pts on them and shoot em.

I have a customer here local that has a similar setup and his bow loves that setup.  Nothing but a spinning nock.

We took that info and ordered some of Big Jims blem GT shafts.  Great price and great shaft!
