Title: Beeman MFX shooters
Post by: MCS on August 09, 2012, 08:23:00 PM
Im shooting a Black Widow 56" pch 54 lbs at my 26" draw. The arrows are 27" 100 gr insert and 150 gr point the total weight is 548 gr. Does this sound right to you. Would like to hear some of your MFX recipes. Thanks Mike.

If your arrows are flying great then I see no problem, go of it.

What spine are you shooting?
Ive got the 500s 75 gr insert 180 grain point, 1 1/2 of aluminum footing, arrow wrap and 4 x 4 parabolic at 28 3/4 inches long around 590 grains flying nicely out of my Centaur, Dalla and Thunderchild from 47# to 51# at my 27 draw.  On the Dalla I need to drop the point weight to 145 or they show weak because the way past center cut.

With the 27 inches length should stiffen it up to be close just maybe a tad weak but a lot of other misc variables could factor too.  Paper and bare shaft em for fine tuning.

My recipe is in my signature below.

If your setup shows your arrows to be a little too much on the weak side, you can always add a small amount of material to the side plate of the bow. If too stiff, well, then add more point weight.

You are in the right ball park. Righteous arrow.

I use the MFX classic 600 in my B.W. MAII 46#. My arrows end up weighing around 470grs. It is one great shooting arrow. I'll probably be hunting with my vintage Bears and cedar arrows  this year so I doubt I'll be able to give you an after-action report. Beman MFX rule.

Im shooting the 400's full length with 75gr inserts and 200gr tips with aluminum footing. I use a wrap and (4) 4" shield cut feathers. Not sure on total weight, but they are heavy. I shoot them out of a 45# Hoyt Buffalo drawn to 29".
