Title: Arrows for my Longbow
Post by: d from phx on April 14, 2010, 07:54:00 PM
I am a shooter rep and shoot a custom Longbow. it is 68 inches 33lbs at 28in. My arrow length is 29 1/2. the bow gains 2lbs over 28 so I am pulling 35lbs. The bow is cut 1/8 past center and I use 8125 fastflight  8 strand string. Have had a few suggestions on what woodie I should uae. Would like to hear from others and maybe some arrow makers you recommend. I only need to shoot 25-25 yrds in 3D.

I have no idea but what is a "shooter rep"?

45/49 is probably pretty close.
I'm curious about what a shooter rep is, too.

I am shooting a mildly 64"R/D longbow. It is 35lbs@28". We measured it up and at my drawlength of 29" it delivers 38lbs. I use a 6 strands SBD string. The bow is cut 1/8 past center.
My POC's are 5/16 45-49 (most of it are 47/48)and at a lenght of 30,3 inches. I use a 100 grains fieldpoint. A 4" fletching and I lackered the last 10 inches of the shaft before fletching. That makes the shafts a little bit stiffer, therefore I made them a bit longer.
They fly great and ared deadly accurate.

So I would say you can't go wrong with 45-49 for your set-up!
