Title: Proper arrow for 42# Bob Lee
Post by: maxwell on March 31, 2012, 05:24:00 PM
I was wondering if someone could use the arrow calculator thingy to give me a ball park on what would be best arrow.  Bow is 60", fast flight string, 42# a 26" arrow will be 28-28.5 " thinking of using 125 eclipse on a woody or 125 stinger on a Alum or carbon arrow.  Thanks in advance.

Hey Bill I had a Bob Lee with the same specs and I found that a 1916 with a 125gr point bareshafted perfectly! and did well on deer!! I tried many carbons with the same bow and a 15/35 Goldtip with a 50gr brass Insert and a 125gr point worked the best. GOOD LUCK!!

Thanks guys,  I had thought a 1916 or carbon express 90 would work but wanted to make sure.

A full length GT 3555 with 145 grain tip will be close.

Most woods in the 50-55# class would work and you can adjust with heavier heads if needed.

Both of those should work well Bill....especially with that souped-up string on it!   :goldtooth:  

I have been shooting that Fedora that came out of the Golder stables. It draws 39@27 for me. I have been shooting my CX Thunderstorms (same spine at the 90s) out of it perfectly.
