He all,

I just picked up a new to me Magnum, think it was made in '71-72, and I need some help with the specs.
It's 45@28, and I am trying to find out what the brace height should be for it.

Also wondering about arrow choices, I draw between 29-29.5. I would really like to load up the front, either 345, 360, or 390.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Keith,

I bought a Kodiak Magnum new about 1972 (50# @ 28").  It was the only bow I used to hunt with until a couple of years ago when it got damaged in a moving truck.  Over the years I bought a dozen fiberglass arrows (tough!!) and a dozen aluminum arrows (nice!!), but by far my most used arrow was a four fletch woodie with a 160 grain Snuffer broad head.  By the way, I draw 29 inches, too.

Good luck, and enjoy your great bow!!

I'd start at 8" with it, depending on your set up you may end up 8 1/2" plus.

Ok, got the brace height down, now I just need to figure out which arrows will be right for this set up.

I like 2018 but I pull 29in.

Keith361, I'm shooting 2016's with 125 gr up front. They seem to fly good for me. I'm thinking about going to a 145 or 165 gr head though, just to see how it works. You may want to try 1916's as well.
