Another spine question

[dan d]

Hey gang, I'm getting serious about this trad stuff this year. I want the groups opinion of a recommended starting point for arrow spine. I tried to go to stu's calculator, but this iPad won't run it.

I am shooting a two tracks 60 inch longbow (long walker) it has a mild reflex / deflex to it. It is rated #50 @ 28, my draw is  just under 27, so I'm guessing I'm @47 lbs.

I shoot ceder arrows, with a glove, my length from back of point to string notch in the nock is 28.5 inches. 125 point weight.

I think that's everything, I will post what I'm shooting after I get a few responses. I don't want what I'm shooting to reflect on the answers giving. I did have a trad shop help me by shooting bare shaft aluminums and converting over to ceder. But in all fairness I was new and was probably not releasing too consistently.

Thanks,
Dan

50/55 would work if your using a dacron string, though 55/60 might work also

I too think 50-55.  I shoot 27.5" draw 45-50 out of a 45# recurve  28 3/4' arrow 125 point.

Thanks guys, that is good to hear. My first set of arrows was made 50 - 55, my second set was cut an inch longer and the the trad shop owner automatically bumped me up to 55 - 60.

Sounds like I'm where I need to be, now I am back to following the post on paper tuning and the bareshaft tuning discussion.

Thanks again !

I would say the 55-60s would shoot best cut to 28.5 bop. Shawn
