Jamie....if you e-mail me your address, I'll send you two 2016 aluminums set up the way they shoot well for me. If anyone else wants to send a carbon or two, or another size aluminum, then you could have some comparisons. I can mail them tomorrow or Saturday if you get me your addy.

Jamie, what's yer draw length?

Gaff · January 24, 2008, 08:04:00 PM

i dont really know rob. i would think about 26"
the arrows my friend let me borrow are 26 1/2"
and the come pretty close hitting my finger.

so a 27 1/2- 28" would be bout perfect..

you guys are super..

Jamie....I'll get them out by Saturday.

Jamie....how did your arrows work for your? I put a 14 strand dacron string on mine and it quieted it down a lot. My wood arrows are flying well now.

they havent showed up yet george. i thaught they would have been here by now. i hope nothing happened to them. i think 2016s will fly pretty good, i borrowed 2 26 1/2" 2018s from a friend of mine and at close range they hit nock right. so i think that means they are to stiff.

so a 28" 2016 with a 150 grain head should fly well, i hope.
i would really like to shoot carbons for durability, so im gonna be getting some gt35-55 from shawn leonard.

man ill tell ya what george, that samick verna bow we bought is probably the best 180.00 ive ever spent!! seems quick, quite, and looks great to!

jamie

P.S. george i dont even know what kind of string is on the bow now. it looks hand made. also can the shoot ff strings?
and lastly, i set my brace height to 7" and shot probably 300-400 shots over the course od 2 weeks. then i was shootin outside and noticed that the brace height was much shorter, about 5".
so i just spun the string around some, and got it back to 7". is that normal for a sring to stretch like that so much???
