arrow selection

[Don Stangeland]

I am shooting a 61"  Holm Made  longbow at 45  pounds with a 27 " draw.  What  arrow length and size or brand  does any one   reccommend .?  carbon or  wood?   Also broadheads and weight?   Thank u for the help

Hi Don, I shoot a 45#@28 Longbow.  For a fast light arrow, I shoot a 28" 1816 aluminum with a 125gr field point.  For deer, I shoot a 29" 2016 with a 150 gr two blade Broadhead.  This one weighs 500 gr and has a foc of 16.4.  It's a tad slower but packs a punch. I use a 4 1/2" four fletch on the heavy one.

55-60# spine cedar with a 160 grn point would work good cut 28" to back of point.  Total arrow weight about 500-550 depending on shaft weight.

Gold tip 3555 would work well too as would Arrow Dynamics Trad Lites.
