i have a martin savannah 50#@28" i am trying to select some aluminum arrows for my bow. someone correct me if i am wrong but from what the chart said with a 125g point i need a 2016 arrow at 29". Is this correct?
-
DON'T USE THE EASTON CHART..
Yes, 2016's w/125grn should work just fine maybe even 2018's
-
I would start with the shaft full length as cut down a little at a time until it comes into tune. Ya never it may end up 30"
-
The Easton chart runs heavy.If I were shooting that setup,I'd need at least 145 grs on a 2016,possibly heavier.
-
i like the 125 grain points so would i be better getting a 1916 at 29"?
-
JimB said it right.Seems those charts always want to overspine a man, even on carbons. If they tell ya 400 most of the time I find 500s work better.

Try this
http://www.eastonarchery.com/products/selection_hunting
it said 2117 or 2216 for wseight of 348gr or
2215 or 2314 for weight or 310gr
-
The 60's Easton chart says, 1916's or 1918's so with that kind of weight on the end, 2016;s should work fine.
-
With a 50# longbow I would lean toward a 1916 with 125gr points. With a 50# recurve the 2016 would be good.
I always drop one spine group when chosing arrows for a longbow. My buddy taught me that a long time ago and it has saved me a whole lot of grief, and money.
