1816 and 1916 arrow spine question

[akalhunt]

I am shooting a few 1816's cut to 29 inches from my longbow.  1816's are little hard to find.  Wondered would a 1916 cut a little longer with heaver point would be close to the 1816.

Yes it would.  In fact about 50 grains increase in point weight should do.  No need to increase length but you could experiment.  They will work.  Good luck....Van

Sounds like you have a 40# bow? take that 1916 out to 30" and put on a 125grn. point and I bet it'll work!

I shoot a 52# Marriah Chinook and it loves 29" 1916's.
Great bow Great bower.

1916's should do fine again play with point weight and arrow lenghth.

My 1916's fly well from my 43# recurve with 145 grain points on them. The shafts are cut to 28&1/2 inches.
