Title: arrow selection help
Post by: bulldogto on December 27, 2010, 06:06:00 PM
I need help on what arrows I should get.  I will be shooting a 55# samick volcano.  My draw is only 26 inches though so it is around 49 pounds at that length.  I have always shot carbon or carbon/aluminum arrows out of my compound, but I have no preference with the recurve.  I'm looking for spine suggestions, shaft length and point weight.  I know I may have to play with the length and point weight while tuning, but just looking for a good starting point.

Thanks

That calculator is a good tool to use. My SWAG here, as I have  similar draw as yours, is a 28" 2016 with 125 grains in front. Tweak with heavier points or cutting down the shaft as needed.

thanks.  I played with the calculator some and it looks like 1916 or 2016s depending on length.  I may try the 2016s at 28 and 125 tips.
