Title: What arrow will work?
Post by: Sawtooth on January 02, 2011, 02:18:00 PM
Haven't assembled any carbon arrows for a long while, and my old arrows are discontinued.  What setup will work for my bow?

Bob Lee Classic takedown recurve
50# @ 26"

My old carbon arrows weighed 624 grains finished with broadheads.  I'm looking for similar weight.  Thanks!

I would suggest AD Trad Lites.  They should perform well cut back as far as 27.5" with the 100 grn brass insert.  I think...

The AD Hammer Head Lites are another choice with a slightly heavier shaft weight.

JMHO

I'm playing with the AD Hammerhead and Hammerhead Lites...looking good so far. I shoot the lites from my 50# bows and they weigh ~560 grains with alum insert and a 200 gr point. I haven't put over 200 grains up front, yet, but it would be no trick to get them to 760 grains, so the 620 grainers should be very doable. I really like the taper on these shafts.
