Stumpin' With Fragile Aluminum Arrows *^).

[woodchucker]

I've never had a problem stump shootin' with aluminium arrows untill.....I end up ricochetting them off a tree.....

THEN, They look more like horse shoes!!!!!

I shot a few 2514's from a wheel bow I had and only killed a couple on re=bar leg supports in the targets .or getting cut on a sideways shot from another shooter,IF I could find out which ones work in my present set up I would be buying more of them and not as many woodies,NOT knocking wood or carbon,shot them too,but I am having problems with my arrows and tuning now so I am dissapointed with my set up is all.

I shoot 2018 Legacys and love them. I've done a lot of stumpin' with them and they hold up just fine. I like my woodies and also shoot some carbons but my favorites are the aluminums.(nut)

I shoot 2216 Legacy's and they hold up great.  I shoot at fallen trees, ferns, stumps... just about anything.  I use judo points and flu-flus when I stump.  I rarely take shots longer than 20 yards.

The flu-flus and judos help with arrow recovery on that 1 in 100 shot when I miss the target   .  Ricochets don't travel far and never get buried.

Also, the judos don't penetrate that deep and they are damn near indestructible.  To me they seem easier to pull out because of this.

I recently switched from 2018s to 2216s but even when I shot the lighter arrows I was able to get thru a couple seasons without damaging or losing any.

Since this is all about alum. arrows I'd like to ask a question. What Legacy shaft would you use for a 55lb at 28" recurve with an arrow length of 28" BOP and 145gr BH. I was just a mouse click away from ordering half a dozen but I've got my woodies tuned so well I'm afraid to start over so I canceled the whole order.

On another note... George thats a Bear take down isn't it?

Shawn is right Carbon's save you $$$$$ 58

2018s will probably do the trick but you never know.  I shoot a 55#@28" Slammer and I have to use 2216s cut to 29 1/4".  They are spined for 65-70# but fly perfectly out of my bow.

I use alum for stumping too, no problems either..
