Arrows For The Wife's Bow

[WPAtrapper]

my wife has shown interest in shooting with me lately and I finally picked up a bow for her. It's a Ben Pearson Colt 30# @ 28". She draws around 26". My question is what arrows to get for her? I'd like to get her carbons for the durability but when looking at Stu's spine chart they all seemed too stiff. Maybe some 1816 aluminums?

try the carbon express predator II in 20/40.  they are relatively cheap compared to others and darned tough.

I think 1816s will be way too stiff. I would suggest a 28", 1616 with a 125-145 grain point weight and that would be good place to start to tune the arrow. It would be a very heavy arrow GPP wise, but manageable. The only drawback, finding an RPS aluminum screw in insert.

Go with the 1616s. Night Wing is right,  that would be a good start. Leave them long and shorten to tune Pup

Ok, thanks guys.

I shoot 1716 cut to 26" at 40#@23".  For me, 1816 have to be left full length with 250 grains up front to work.  Hope this helps!

My wife has a 24" draw length and shoots 37# she shoots Beman ICS hunter jrs. they come in 26" and 28" lengths , you will have to remove the vanes and replace them with feathers . They do not come in bare shafts.They fly great

I have a 25# and 35# I keep just for women and kids. They both shoot 1716s the best.

[WPAtrapper]

Ok thanks guys. I think I'll get some 1716's and a few youth carbons to try.

Has anyone used the Easton Jazz arrows and if you have are they decent arrows? Do any of the sponsors on here sell them?

[zipper bowss]

If they were left a little long,She should be able to shoot Easton Redline 780.The are very durable carbons.Tracy shoots them out of here 32#@25" longbow limbs.
