I am about to receive my Toelke whip bow
35# at 29
I am playing around with the arrow calculator on 3 rivers
would like to know what would be better
10.8 gpp or 12.8 gpp
the arrow I am looking at are
easton legacy 1916 aluminium
easton carbon legacy in 600 spine
thank you
canuck
Whichever one flies better.
With a 35# bow I'd be sticking to inanimate targets and small game.
sorry forgot to mentioned that the bow will be use for target and 3D
For target and 3D I would think the lighter of the to(or even lighter) would be best.

This^^^^
13gpp is going to drop like a BIG rock pretty fast!
Bisch
and I would get 20 fps more with carbon
the only thing I hate about carbon is how are they are to pull out....
will have to oil them I guess.....
one more thing
in using carbon at 10.8 gap will I get a much noisier bow?
You can use string silencers,and limb dampeners(AKA limb savers) to help with any noise.

And look at carbon in the 9gpp and 100grn heads
will do
thanks
I think a even 600 spine will be to stiff, depending on the front weight.
I've never hard a hard time pulling carbons out of any target....the only time it's been tough has been shooting into hay bales that let's the arrow bury deep. I would certainly go with your best flying, lightest setup possible, no less than 8gpp imho
on the 3 Rivers spine calculator the axis traditional set up with a steel inserts 25 gr. and a 100 gr point is suitable
gives 181 fps
2 digit difference (borderline)
if I use the Easton brass insert 50 gr I have a little play by cutting shaft for tuning.....and gives 177 fps
SARarcher hope you are correct because in ten test target here
I get my workout when shooting
forgot to put in that the arrow above would be 10.8 gpp

Not really. For targets and 3-d the noise isn't a factor, the whip is inherently a quiet bow, and I've found low poundage bows to be quieter overall anyways.
I got a dwyer dauntless for my wife, (similar r/d profile to the whip), shooting full length 600 spine Heritage shafts with regular inserts and 100 gr. points. Without string silencers this bow is real quiet. Not sure what they weight yet and haven't really tuned the arrows as we need to work on her form before cutting shafts, but it's a real pleasure to shoot a lighter bow like that.
Congrats on your bow and good luck.
great
is 18 FOC to high for the arrow mentioned above
