I traded emails with Dave Johnson and it looks like I am a few weeks out from getting my bow. Quicker than I expected and need to make some arrows. This longbow will be 40# @ 27". My arrows are typically 29.75" BOP. I want to build 1 dozen wood arrows and 1 dozen aluminum arrows. I would like point weights in the 125-145gr range. What spine shafts do y'all recommend? I am thinking 40-45# spines for the woods and 1816's for the aluminums.
Brazos, congratulations on your bow! No sure on the arrows. What is the brace height?
Brazos - What is your draw length? You said your arrows are typically 29 3/4", but what do you draw?
My Dave Johnson is 50# @ 28" and I draw 27.5" with the arrows cut 29.25 to bop. So I can shoot 50/54 to 55/59 spined woddies without any problems.
Ric, my draw length is 27". I tend to use a little longer arrow than I need to.
Shifting Shadow, do not know BH yet as I am still a few weeks out from getting the bow.
Thanks.
