I'm hoping to get some ideas for arrow set-ups. I'm 29-30 inch draw and I shoot a number of different bows 55-60lbs at my draw.
What arrows do you shoot with similar stats
Thanks
Allan
I shoot wood with my ACS CX; if my DL were 30" I would need105/110# Doug Fir shooting a 160 gn point.
Wow! That would be a killer set up! :archer2:
29" draw, 55# osage selfbow, 30" 65-70 cedars with 125 gr upfront and 5.5" feathers. 5 gasket laquer dips to add a pinch of weight and stiffness.
29" draw, 53# sinew backed hickory selfbow, 30" 60-65 cedars with 125 gr upfront and 5.5" feathers.
I have a 56# BW PSA2 that I draw 29" I'm currently shooting an Easton FMJ 400 w/a 100gr brass insert and 3" wooden dowel inside.125gr broadhead.that gives it a 590gr arrow with 17.8% FOC.
It also shoots a 29.5 FMJ 340 100gr brass insert w/ a 5" wooden dowel internal,an 1.25 2016 external foot,190gr el grande with a 125gr steel insert yeilding a 794.6gr arrow with 28.8% EFOC
Both fly like tack drivers however if you don't shoot extremly heavy arrows stick with the first setup.That setup blew through everything with plenty of punch left too spare.
I shoot a 49 @ 28 A&H that I draw to about 54#'s. My arrow length is 31".
With that set up I use an Axis 400 with 250+ up front.. I would be the same set up would work for you..
ICS trad bowhunter 300's. My bows are right about 60 lbs or a bit over at 30".
I never could get the softer arrows to fly right without 1) shortening them to my draw limit and 2)reducing their overall weight to less than what I wanted to shoot: =/>10 gpi
You may be okay one click softer for a 55 lb bow and not a real heavy total arrow weight. Try 9 gpi.
Joshua
Selfbow Osage,60#, shoot off knuckle, 29" river cane spines @ 60#, Simmons Interceptor (160gr., I think)
Doug Fir spine @ 60-65#
Ash spine @ 60-65#
Hickory spine @ 60#
All heavy finished arrow wt. %00Gr. +
Just what I like to have in my quiver.

Allan,
I draw around 30" and shoot an A&H ACS and a Saluki Ibex and pulling around 57#. Current I'm using the 340 Axis FMJ's with 250 up front.
Doug
55@30 ce heritage 250 31" 200 gr point
Allan I draw 30". I shoot a Black Widow PMA with 62" limbs its 59# at my draw. I shoot Beman 340 Bone Collectors. When I cut them to 31" they bare shaft absolutely perfect for me. No weight inserts needed at all.
I shoot easton 2216's @ 29.5 inches and 64#. I just busted my piggy bank and will be building a dozen beman MFX's 340 full length. I use 125 gain points and both fly perfect.
Easton axis 400 with my 52# limbs and 340's with my 57# limbs from a Habu VyperKan. I draw just a tad over 29". For broad heads I shot a 145gr two blade Magnus or a three blade snuffer.
habujohn
31" draw shooting 56 to 59# and use a 2216 or 2219 easton legacy at 32" with 125 to 150 grain point.
Long draws are nice and i dont want to look a gift horse in the mouth but i am sure limited on arrow choice and point weight choice
Its realy gonna vary with the bow, 60-65 out of a Hill style or 70-75 out of a shrew of the same weight for me.
Eric
I'm especially interested in carbon sizes and tip / insert weight
59 at 30" MOAB full length 55-75 GT aluminum insert 200 gr. point.
60 at 30 Tomahawk 31 1/2" CE Heritage 250 100 gr. brass insert 175 gr. point.
I can shoot the GT's out of the Tomahawk but can't shoot the 250's out of the MOAB.
bretto
55-64#@28" bows
I shoot AD Trads, 30.5" with 100 gr insert and 300 gr heads out of all of them. I draw 29".
Sovereign Sonoran longbow 56# @ 29"
29.75 55/75 gold tip xt
fmj 400 both with 200 up front
Mine is the same as Pat B. within 1# of draw....DB
If you boys can believe it, they were too weak
I draw 30" and shoot a Axis N-Fused 340 shaft tipped with a 250 grain Terminator . . . cut to 31". My bow is a 58 pound Tall Tines recurve.
Beman MFX Classic 340s, 30,5" long 50 grain Insert, 150 grain tip, 1/2" Alu footing front, 1/4" footing backend 4x4" feathers
out of a 57#@30" Lee TD LB;
I draw an honest 30.5 and I shoot carbon express 150 heritage out of a 57 lb reflex deflex longbow. They fly very well for me. I also shot the same arrows out of a very short,(read 47 inch hybrid bow) pulling 64 lbs and they shot equally well if not better.
Carbon Express Maxima 350's (the all black woven ones, not the half black half camo ones) with 100 grain brass insert and 250 grain points or broadheads work out of my 62# @ 28" Black Widow and Jack Howard recurves (results in a 610-620 grain arrow I think). You are a hair longer draw than me so I would say the same setup may tune or you may need to drop back to a 200 grain point.
That same set up did not tune to my satisfaction out of my 55# Jack Howard and I had to drop back to the Carbon Express 250's with a 50 grain brass insert and 250 grain points (results in a 550 grain arrow I think).
Unfortunately that means two sets of different arrows and they are spendy, but hold up better than other carbons I have tried.
29" draw on a 57# MOAB hybrid. I shoot the CX 250 with 150 grain points, no insert weight and a 3gpi full length weight tube. Gets me about 540 grains of arrow and very, very good arrow flight.
Carbon Express 6075 30.5" 58-63#
Finally Perfect flight!! I ended up with 31" Carbon Express Heritage 350 100gr brass insert, 175gr. point 680grain total
shot out of my 58@28 62" MOAB drawn to 29"
57#,29.5" G.T.55/75 W/275 gr. up front
I draw 29.5 and shoot beman 400's with 100 grain brass inserts and 125 grain field points. They fly great.
Yup, need to what bows you are shooting. Guys can list all day but if you are not shooting exactly what bow they are it will do you no good. Shawn
