The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

"Gonna buy some arrows here (not shafts, but ready-for-action arrows), and but I'm not sure which variant I should choose for my 70# longbow. There's Beman 630, 750, 900, 1000, 1200 and 1400. As I actually know close to nothing about arrows, I would be happy to gain some knowledge."

BUMP  :)

BUMP again. Not a soul who can inform me more about arrows, and answer the question above?  :)

Have to buy those arrows soon. Can't shoot my current arrows with my longbow, they're too weak, so I'm getting pushy now!   :bigsmyl:

Which size is ideal for a 70# longbow guys?

What is your draw length? Is your longbow 70# at 28"? What grain tips do you plan to shoot?

70# @ 28" - that's right.

As I wrote, these are not shafts, they're premade arrows  :)

I just wonder which size is ideal for minimal penetration (as I want the arrows to be stopped by the target).

By the way, when I talk size, I really mean size. Not arrow length   :cool:

Arrow lenght must be a consideration in arrow selection, just as spine deflection. Also does your longbow have an arrow shelf, or does the arrow rest on your knuckle when the bow is drawn? If your bow has an arrow shelf cut into the riser, what is it's location in relation to the centerline of the bow? Is it cut center, or 1/4" past center? This is also needed infomation for arrow selection.

Assuming that you draw a full 28", and assuming that your shelf is cut to +3/8", and assuming that you use a b50 string, and that's assuming alot. A good arrow choice would be a Beman ICS 500 arrow cut to 29.5" and a 125 gr. tip.
