Title: What arrows to shoot at 45 @ 24
Post by: spider64 on February 03, 2015, 04:00:00 PM
I have come to realize I am not shooting not near the bow weight I thought I was . I am thinking 500s would be good at this weight. Like to here some opinions . Thanks , Darren

Depends on what weight you want up front, but if you're only drawing 24", unless you want a large boat anchor on the end, I'd suggest 1535s and you can still probably put 175 gr up front and cut them back until you get the flight you want.

1916's or 1535's should be a good start.JMO. Mike.

x2. .500 is going to be way stiff.

Im shooting 47 lbs at my draw which is 24 7/8". I shoot 1535 cut to 25 7/8" with 200gr point.

I draw 26 1\\2" and shoot 310-360gr broadhead total weight on the front of a 1535 @ 28 3\\8" long from the cut end to the throat of the knock, with three 4" parabolic feathers. I shoot them out of my Morrison Shawnee 64" LB which is 56 @ 28, so it's probably 51-52# @ 26 1\\2"

The variation in the weight comes from using a 50gr brass insert versus using a 100gr brass insert. The arrow with the 100gr brass insert was paper tuned. Both fly great but I like the 50gr inserts better.

I was going to put 175 gr point up front.

That should work, then adjust the length of the shaft a little at a time to tune it.

600's would work very well.
