2219's "too much or not?"

I shoot a 62 in brack 63# ..I have come across 2 dozen 2219's for free ...just wanted to know what u guys thought of this match-up and what head to shoot?

The brack is cut to center, or close. Leave them a little long and put some weight up front, as hard as the brack shoots they should fly OK.

Whats your draw length? I used to shoot a 63# Black Widow at 29.5" and they were perfect and my favorite shaft ever. As Mike said, it depends on the bow, you and your shooting style, if they are full length and your draw length isn't overly long, there should be no problem making them work great! I wish someone would give me two dozen 2219's for free!

Man I am shooting a Widow right now.. 61# at my 30" draw and my 2020's bare shaft near perfect cut to 31 with 125 grains up front.. I have some old 2219's I may have to try them, but will have to go to some of them 300 grain heads for sure. Regardless, for "Free" the price is definitely right, and worth taking.

Well so much for that.. My 2219's are cut to 31 1/4 and with a 150 grain head they Bare shaft just fine..
For some reason they do want a lower nock height, but L/R they are just fine.
Hope any of that helps.

They shoot just fine out of my Bear TD B riser #1 limbs that pull 65 @ my 30" with a B-50 string

thanks guys, my bow is 63# @ 28 my draw length is 29 so maybe these things will work...also why do alot of you guys shoot such heavy heads.? am i missingout on a good trick

sorry guys, Im a firefighter on duty today away from computer off and on..Iappreciate the help!

The heavy head thing is the latest fad, don't worry about it other than getting about 12% foc. 2219's @ 63#'s are good for anything you would want to shoot with it.

I was thinking in terms of weakening the spine just a little - didn't check a spine chart, just going from memory on 2219s. I used to shoot them out of a hard-cam wheelie bow and they liked some weight out front.
