Default Beman ICS hunters 340's

I am shooting A 06 tribute smooth mods and a QAD ultra ld. I was wondering if these arrows would be a good fit. Thanks for any help or suggestions.

I guess it depends on your draw length and poundage.

Well, with that arrow, your on the edge with spine. If you get a 30" arrow, your might be too weak. But with a 29" arrow, you would be ok. I imagine with a 29.5" draw, you want arrows at least 30". You might have to back down on poundage about 4lbs. Only bareshaft or broad head tuning can tell you for sure. I shoot 340's at 29" arrow length, and had to lower my poundage down to 66lbs for broadhead tuning.

I'm guessing your arrows @ 28 1/2", and yes, you will be fine. But you are close....300's would probably work a bit better, depending on arrow length.

I'd say you were talking about a 400 spine. Mine is the exact oppisite. The 340's I shoot are too stiff at about the same set up. Last I looked that spec was on the cusp of the 400-340, not the extreme end of the 340.

I'd go with the elites in that shaft. I like them better.

No nodog, I shoot a 340 at 29" out of my liberty at 67lbs. And its on the edge. If his draw is 29.5, then he would want to shoot a 30" arrow. Maybe 30.5". And 340 is too weak.

Interesting. I have shot the 340s with my 31 inch draw (30.25 inch arrow) and 65-70 pound draw weight range off and on for several years. I do not have the chart handy but I was under the impression that I was right in the middle of the 340 suggested range. It has tuned well enough for me over the years. Now you have me wanting to go back and check.

Nobody needs to know what he's using for tip weight?[&:]
