1916

[Coach Jones]

I am shooting a 38 lb Kanati with a B55 string.  My arrows are 30.5 inch 700 Dark Timbers with 200 grain tips.  Could I shoot a 1916 from this set up or will I need an 1816? My draw length is 28 inches.  I ask because I would love to get some Autumn Orange shafts but they don't come in an 1816 spine.

Probably would work fine.  The only way you would know for sure would be to bare shaft tune, because a 1916 would possibly need a longer or shorter shaft to work with that setup.

Your setup seems a little too light in bow weight for hunting, and a little too heavy in arrow weight for target.  What is your objective here?

So, 481 grains is light?  That is 12.65 GPP.  Or are you saying 38 lbs is too light for hunting? This is a hunting bow.  Bare shafts are perfect and it is ready for turkey season.
