Help with arrows for the wife

Roseaukaine · 09-16-2003, 07:45 PM

Trying to lighten up the arrows for my wife, who wants her arrows to have a little more " zip"

. She presently shoots Gold Tip Falcon 35' s at 22 3/4" long. With 75 grain tips, the arrows (3" feathers) weigh in at 300 grains. I am looking for an arrow combination that will weigh around 250 grains (with tip, nock, insert, feathers). The bow' s maximum draw weight is 41 lbs. She would need an arrow that weighs under 5 gpi. - Any suggestions on arrow selection or configuration?

Easton Redlines will get you close.They are not cheap.ACE or hyperspeeds are light but mega bucks.Is this for target or hunting?For hunting I would keep the extra weight since shots need to be close anyway.

Who makes the Cheetahs, Carbon Tec? They are advertised as 5 grains per" . These should meet your specs, but I have no experience with their quality.

If it were me, I' d bite the bullet and get ACCs.

I ordered the Redlines - 6.2 gpi. These arrows are only for target - to get that " zip" she wants. When she is able to group 2-3" consistently at 30 yards while pulling back the full 40 lbs of DW, we will switch her over to heavier arrows, adjust the sights, get a good cut-on-contact head, and let her hunt, providing she is pushing enough KE - it' ll be close (35 lb).

The only arrows I would buy for my wife are the ones with the little rubber suction cups on the end.

That way she can' t hurt herself or the dog.
