I just got a new to me wolverine geting ready to make up some arrows and and start tuning it in I am starting with a CE heritage 350 cut to 29" 225 grs up front Bow is 61# @ my draw 28" what do you think? and what are your arrow set ups? I would like to end up with a 650 to 700 gr arrow when I am done. wish me luck!
The bear in my avatar was killed with a #53 Wolverine and CX 150's with 325 grains up front. The total arrow weight was over 600 but under 650 grains. I draw 27"s so the weak arrow worked well. I'd say you need a cx 250 with a good amount of weight up front. The 350 might work though depending on how you shoot the bow but I'd almost bet on the 250!...Ryan
Sounds like an ultimate set up to me.Those things are going to fly like darts I bet.You might end up having to weight them up even more to get to 650/700 though.Im sold on the goldtip trad blems 55/75s w/250 up front.The CEs have one more wrap of carbon and are the ultimate in strength,but do cost a lil more.The best thing besides awesome flight characteristics and toughness is,I can shoot the same arrow out of 4 different bows that range from 50@28 to 65@28.
Oh yeah,they are hard to find ,but if you can get some good hickory shafts in the spine you want,they make some awesome slammers too.
thanks guys I just made up a few arrows I got the CE 250 with 245 up front wighing in at 594. and some 350s with 273 up front at 659. I have The brass screw in wights so I will be able to add or remove from the arrows. now off to shoot this thing.....
This is a sweet shooting little bow. here is shot # 6,7,8,9, and 10 out of it at 25 yards. the 350s are stiff as you can see by the bare shaft. I will add some more tip wight to them looks like they will be 700 to 750 gr but thats ok with me they are flying like darts @ 659 gr and I sure they still will with anther 50 to 100 more grains.

I had to go for a little walk and do some stumping and try a few areal shoots with it just to try to get the feel for the bow. this has to be the sweets bows I have ever shot. a stump @ about 40 steps.

"This is a sweet shooting little bow."
I always get a kick out of statements like that. 61# is NOT a little bow to me :) I only wish it was!
Nice bow and arrows.
