Hey guys,
All I've ever shot is 125 gr. heads off my wooden arrows. They're spined 55/60 POC for my 50# recurve. They work great and are good and accurate.

If I wanted to go to a heavier head for some bigger game, say a 200 gr. head, would I just have to lengthen or shorten up my arrows or am I lookin at another spine category?

Thanks!

Unless your arrows are really long now you will have to go up in spine

CO_Redneck

right now they are cut 28.5 as my draw is 27. At full length I think they are somewhere around 30 - 32"

CO Redneck, Im no expert but if you want to go up in bh weight and use the same arrows you will probably have to cut your  arrows down a little to stiffin the spine. How do they fly with the heavier bh, as is. Maybe you don't have to do anything. Usually a heavier point will weaken the spine. m2c. good luck

Since you can't really cut your arrows any shorter, you would need to build out your strike plate a tiny bit to use the 200gr bh
