I am currently shooting Easton 2117 XX78 Super Slams cut at 28 inches and have them dialed in really well.

According to Easton's site the 2117 at 28 inches has a deflection of .407 inches.

So if I wanted wood arrows what do I tell the manufacture I want the spine to be.  Do I just tell them that I need shafts that have .407 inch deflection at 28 inches?  If I do this will they perform the same as the XX78s?

Thanks in advance.

I would say that falls around 80-85# spine if I remember correctly, arromaker or someone will come on and let ya know! Shawn

What is your bow set-up, weight at your draw and is it cut past center, etc..? Shawn

Sure Shawn thanks for the help.

I have a Hoyt Dorado Recurve 17 inch riser 60 in over all

It is cut past center but I don't know to what degree.

My draw length is 26.5 inches and it weighs in at 53 pounds.

Flemish twist fast flight string couldn't tell you the strand count.

I shoot off the shelf with a seal skin covering and back plate.

I have Bow Hush and Hush Puppies on the string with a dental floss nock point.  The HP's are at 1/4 and 1/3 on string and trimmed to 1/2 inch long fibers.

My arrows are described above with a 150 grain point and 5 inch feathers set at 3 degrees off set to the left.

I only shoot when the moon is full and the tide is high.  All arrows have be worked over by a witch doctor as to have mojo.

Bill:

2117's XX75's spine 81#, so I would suggest 80/84 spine in a wood shaft. Can't go by the Easton chart as they use a different spine standard than traditional arrowsmiths.
