Aluminum arrow choices

[abbatoys]

I am shooting a Predator Recurve 52 lb @ 28" draw. I am right about 28 inch draw and shooting a 30" arrow. A 2114 at 30" with a 150 gr head seems to fly real good. I havent been able to bare shaft it, but the arrow flight is good. My scale is broke (new one on order), but wondering if this is a good hunting arrow to use. Is it enough gpi..???? Thanks, Scott

According to stu's calc, the arrow weight comes in at around 9-10 gpp, not sure about fletching and insert weigth, etc. Enough gpp, not sure about the spine.

If it flys good shoot it. I shoot 2114s W/125 gr out of a 60# JH Jet so I belive your setup is about accurate.

The overall weight of the 2114 with a 150 grain point weight should be around 499 grains which will give you a 9.59 GPP (grains per pound) arrow.

The above stats are predicated on you shooting an Easton Camo Hunter arrow with a 25 grain RPS insert, a metal Super Uni Bushing weighing 7 grains and installed with factory Easton Super Nocks weighing 13 grains.

Should be traveling around 189 fps in speed.

That's a good arrow, but it is my second choice behind the 2016 which has comparable weight and has a lesser diameter.  

At that bow weight and arrow length, even the heavier 2018 would be worth looking at if heading out after game bigger than deer.

Just a whitetail hunter, but I have thought about trying out a couple 2018's. The 2114 was a lazer and so was a 2115. Scott

Keep this in mind. Unless you have a large supply of 2115s on hand, Easton discontinued the 2115 size some years ago.

Luckily there is a small sport shop close by that still has arrows in there from the 70's (probably not really) and I can find most sizes, just need to strip off vanes...
