what arrows?

What Gold Tip carbon arrow (spine) and point weight would you use for a 35# fiberglass bow with the arrow rest 1/4" past center?

also F.O.C. Front of center % (10-15%)?

I'm far from an expert so I'll let someone else more qualified take a swing at it but what's the draw length and is the bow just going to be a target bow?

28"
for hunting too

Do you mean 1/4-inch proud of center, not past center? The latter would be quite unusual. Regardless, 15/35s with standard insert and 125 grain points will be in the ball park. Your draw length and string type will also affect spine needed, but I think you can make the 15/35s work..

In GT shafts, I would think 15/35's would be the only choice.

You'll need a 700 spine I'm guessing with 145 or 175 up front to bend around that shelf. I have an old Pearson fiberglass bow and you need a lot of flex to get around the riser.

More specifically, the GT Lightning shafts.

1/4" PAST center. yes , center shot
350 grains should get to 195 to 200 feet per second

This riser started out 1/4" wider on one side,
you can see it sticking out on the other side of the site window

Wow! Past center....1535s and 125 or 145 points on 30" shafts.

Mad Max · December 20, 2015, 10:38:00 PM

one more 1/4" past center

When you said fiberglass bow, my mind went to the Ben Pearson type or Bear Fox type.

I'd call that one a custom laminated takedown.

Orion · December 21, 2015, 10:00:00 AM

Yep. Me, too. I thought you were talking about a solid fiberglass bow. An arrow shelf cut 1/4-inch past center would be very rare on one of those. Never seen one.

Regardless, I think you can make 15/35s work. May need to build out the side plate a bit. For finger shooters, the arrow tip should lie just about on the outside edge of the string (when viewed from behind) when the arrow is nocked and resting on the arrow shelf. Good luck.

So I'am confirming that these arrows are good?

Thanks guy's

Bud B. · December 21, 2015, 06:05:00 PM

I would say so. Grab some 125gr points and give it a try.

I think those will be fine. The gold tip warriors would be a good choice too and I believe they make a .700 spine.

cool
