Title: Arrow spine help needed.
Post by: 30pointbuck on February 12, 2011, 08:20:00 AM

Im shooting a Martin Jaguar recurve RH 60" 50#@28
my draw length is 28". I put my easton digital draw weight scale on and draw it to my anchor point and it's 50.3# im shooting Easton Gamegetter II 2117 32" long and a 125 gn. FT. 3, 4" vanes. Am i over spined or will this set up be good, mabey more or less weight up front, or which spine should i be shooting. Thanks for the help, you guy's are great.       :dunno:

Shoot em and find out. I think you're probably overspined.  2117s spine about 80#.  2016s would likely be better, and you could cut them shorter ( say 29 inches) so they wouldn't be hanging past the front of the bow 4 inches at full draw.

You will need 220grn points or more. I have a PSE KingFisher that is 50@28 and the 2117's using 220 grn points fly very good. I need to up point weight a little more for better flight.

Cut the 2117 shorter 29" or the 2016 ?
