Title: arrows for a 45# bear montana
Post by: lan91 on February 06, 2014, 03:12:00 AM
Hi guys I need some help with arrows. I got a 45# Montana and I've tried the arrows I use in my Hoyt buffalo and my big five, they all fly to the left. I'm shooting gold tip 3555 and game getter 500 and my draw is 26.5. Help please!

If you're not already, try the 35/55 at full length with a good amount of weight up front. The GG 500 might be a tad too stiff as they're 2016s. I would think that 1916s full length would be better.

This is assuming you're a righty and using around 125-150 grain points with aluminum inserts presently.

I got full length gt 3555 with 100 grain point, seems to shoot ok. Still goes to the left though. btw does anyone have experience with F7 limbs on a buffalo riser? i found brand new ones for 400  :D

Try 250 grain points with the 35/55.

It would be better than the 100. Can you get some heavier inserts? You may have better luck with 600 spine (15/35) arrows.

X2 on the 15/35's or pick up some 100grn brass inserts. Might give you a little more room to tune.

It's hard finding stuff like that in Australia. The heaviest points i can find are 175 and not many people sell arrows with feathers. I might buy some 1535s and tru flite feathers etc and do them myself. hopefully i find some good tutorials on youtube  :D
