Title: Arrow tuning questions
Post by: DXH on October 01, 2015, 04:00:00 PM
I've never gotten into the "science" of tuning arrows
I'll be shooting carbon arrows out of a 60# recurve with ~ 150 to 160 grain point . My draw length is 27"

What length shaft do i need to start with before I start trimming length down

my guess is to start with full length shaft and go from there

Not knowing any other info, I'd say that was a good guess!

Ken Beck's method for tuning arrows has always worked for me.

If you are drawing 27" you would be around 57lb. If you are shooting say a GOLD Tip Traditional in the 400 hundred class with 160 up front,full length which I think now is 30.5 inches you might fine that it is just fine. If the spine is weak just reduce weight up front or cut a quarter inch at a time off. Some will say an eighth inch at a time. My bow at 57lbs works great with that combo.
