My oldest(16) went out and shot with me and was shooting an old bow I refinished.Now he wants to shoot it as his own. I have to get him some aluminum arrows(his choice)figured some fall stalkers would work for the time being. I am strictly a wood shooter with longbows and my arrows are way to high in spine for this bow. So what aluminum would work for a Pearson Colt (recurve)44#@28"(he draws 28") with 125-130 up front?I have a seal skin rest and side plate.
And for kicks what carbon would work as well.
Give 1916s a try. They work well with my mid 40 pound recurves. Maybe with 125gr points. 1816s might work, but 1916s seem to be a little easier to find.
What ronp said except I think 1816 might be a tad better for that weight point. Either one will get ya close.
I shoot 1916s from my 43@28 longbow with 125gr up front. My arrows are cut 30.75" and my draw is 29.5". They fly really well.
At 16, he's go some growing to do. You could probably get 2016's to work well if you leave them an inch or two long.
I would say 2014 X7s a little long in case you want to play with different broadheads that may be heavier than 125.......spines right between 1916s and 2016s.
Thanks guys I am heading out this afternoon to see what I can find.Any ideas on carbon size?
For carbons I would say a 500 spine left at full length with the point weight you say.Most 500 spines are about 30" to 31" long.Like maybe GT 35/55 or Beman ICS Bowhunter 500 would work.
