Title: Arrows?
Post by: donnyrambo on January 20, 2013, 04:30:00 PM

I am new to the sport.  I just ordered my first Trad Bow from Mike and Jason Fedora.  It is a longtime hybrid at 60" in length.  Draw is 45 pounds at 27",

What would be the best length arrow?

Aluminium or Carbon?

4" or 5" Feathers?

What would be the best spine?

What else do I need to consider?

What is the best and easiest jig to Fletch a shaft?
Any recommendations on books?

I'm pretty new to this myself but a guide for arrow selection called stus calculator will help.  My guess is 2016 in aluminum and 300 carbon. 125 points. But check out stu...always start with longer arrows and trim to tune.I have a cheaper bohning fletch jig rw that works for my needs. This site will help a lot when trying to figure it all out.

Here is a link to some very good information. The link is located right in the middle of the sponsor advertisements located above, highlighted in yellow.
