Post by: David Yukon on January 12, 2012, 08:48:00 PM
What are they good for?? I mean on the shaft it says 70-75# I don't know what to do with them... I have a 72#@30(my draw length) r/d long bow, 68" and look like the sight winndow is not cut past center... I also have a PSAV 46#@28 so I guess 55#@30...
What you guys think??

They could work for your 72#@30 R/D longbow depending on their length and front weight.Try shooting one bare with different point weights,I believe 3Rivers has 100 gr. inserts for some aluminum arrows.I believe 2219's are what Bryon Ferguson shoots out if his 70# longbow,I think I remember that from one of his shows.

It's a great alternative to the skinnier Legacy swaged end 2020. If you've got a long draw length and a heavy bow, the 2219 in the Camo Hunter series is a good choice since it has the factory uni bushing already installed.

I shoot them out of my 50# recurve. 30.5" with 200gr Woodsmen and a tad extra insert weight (20gr I think). Man do they smack home!

2219's are all I use in my bows, with the draw weights ranging from 60# to 72# at 29 inches. I have my arrows cut to 29.5 in length and usually use 145 to 200 grain field points and 160 to 225 grain weight broadheads. According to my scale, arrow weight is from 624 to 680 grains. heavy arrow  mean great penetration and long life of the bow.
