I was wondering how much heavier a head I would need to be able to use 10# heavier spine arrow ?
My 55# Dwyer longbow likes a 70-75# spine @29" with a 125gr. point . I have some 2216 aluminum which is some where in the 75-85# range . If I like the way they shoot I might like to make some woodies in that range .
I am a firm believer that if its not broke , don't fix it . But there might just be a setup that I might like better .
Any thoughts ?
Why not purchase an assortment of field points with varying weights and see which weight works best for you?
Trying to cross from aluminum to wood by straight static spine will be a bit difficult as the dynamic spine of the two materials differs somewhat in my experience. But still a good starting point.
I have not played with heavy heads much and was just thinking of experimenting with them .
In my experience, going from 125 to 160 gr is good for about 5 lb spine, 190-200 gr needs about 10 lb.
I shoot a lot of 200 gr heads on my woods these days and really like the arrow flight and performance. I just do my tuning with the heavy point.
