Hey everyone I'm once again calling on my stick bow
Brothers for help I think I'm going to try shooting some
Aluminum arrows but here's the problem I don't
Really know anything about them so what size do you
Guys think I'll need ? I'm shooting a 58# big Jim
Buffalo and pulling it to 28 inches any info or input
Would be greatly appreciated hopefully I can get everything
I need by this weekend there's a few deer on the neighboring
Property that need there lungs deflated!! :biglaugh: thanks in advance guys!
Tell us what broadhead wt you're using, screw-in or glue-on?
Or call big jim monday morning and he'll have you some b/f the weekend.
A lot depends on the weight up front and length of arrow. I have shot alum. for years and I would say a good start would be 2117 around 400 deflection. I shot 2216's with 175 up front out of 55# bows with very good results. You might also consider 2020's a heavier weight arrow a little weaker in deflection than 2117's. With some testing I am sure any of those listed will work.
Im thinking buzz cuts or woodsmans up front
Maxwell has it right. rat'
Im thinking buzz cuts or woodsmans up front
Concur with Maxwell. A lot of variables I shoot a Kindred 59# with a fastflight string. I just bought a dozen 2020s and they bareshaft tuned great with 145 grain field tips. I recommend getting some field tips in 125 145 and 175 grain and see what works best with your set up. Good luck and happy shooting
I would think a 2117 with 125 up front would be good start. I think you will have some room for cutting shafts shorter to make stiffer if needed and want to use a heavier head.
I am using 2117 cut to 29in with 145 grain tips for my 60# recurve. I like 2020 size as well, heavy to begin with, but another size to consider is 2018. I tend to lean toward the smaller diameter shafts for hunting.
