How many people out there are slinging some serious lumber out of thier average to lower poundage trad bows?! (50 - 55#) Im talking in the realm of 200gr+ broadheads on 85-90 spined WOOD arrows?! (carbons with weight tubes and para cord need not apply please haha!) :saywhat:
I had a surpising find the other day wile shooting in the yard, I was shooting my Silver Fox 60@29 and in with my cedar arrows, was a 2219, 4 fletch, with a 200 gr field point and man did it fly well!! On the shaft, it reads Easton Legacy 70-75#...
Nothing quite that serious, but I do use 55-60 ash with 190 grain ribteks with my self bow. They run about 725 g. Self bow is 48 @ 27. And yes, it's a short range weapon.
Eric,I normally shoot 55-60#, with 11-13 grains per pound with 200-220 grains up front.I got a 300 grain head from big jim and did some testing I was amazed how that head flys.Its some serious hunting medicine.there are so many combinations for any given set-up,thats the fun about this sport of ours.
