Title: What arrows
Post by: Nate N on September 22, 2010, 12:23:00 PM
Guys,
I need a little help.  I recently got a 68" Adirondack Deluxe.  I love it and it shoots great.  I need to get some arrows and am not sure of what spine i need.  It is 50# @ 28" not cut to center.  I draw around 27 1/2".  I like the carbon express heritage shafts but have been thinking about aluminum as well(a little easier on the wallet).  It has a dacron string on it but i am thinking about getting a padded loop 10 or 12 strand fast flight string for it.  Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Nate

Nate, I plugged in some of your info at Stu Millers spine calculator and came up with a 1913 aluminum arrow @28.5" with 125 grs. roughly at 190 fps. and 14.8 foc. That was with the B50 string.   :thumbsup:

My Shrew likes Carbon Express 150's with 50 grn brass inserts and 160 grn broadheads. My draw length is close to yours. They are a little over 28" long. They sure seem to be a tough arrow.

50-55 cedars with 125 or 145 upfront would be deadly quiet and cheap eough. Plus I think cedar shafts are the coolest thing since........? cedar shafts? I would try all 3 materials and decide what style you prefer. Alum., carbon and wood
