Default cm crusader

Well My Chek Mate crusader td is going to be arriving tomorrow and I was wondering what arrows should I get me in the ball park? Either aluminum or carbon? The bow is 53@28 and I draw will be drawing it at 28 1/4". Arrow length doesn't matter I have had arrows for my other bows 30" long to 28.5" what ever flew the best. Thanks.

Probably 2018, 29-30" long with 125 tip. I shoot 2018 with 125gr tip on my martin savannah at 52# 29" draw. If you havne't got it yet, how do you know your draw?

I'm no help with aluminum or carbon--I've always shot wood on my Crusader.

www.arrowsbykelly.com should get you in the ball-park, but there's lots of variables. What string material, how many strands, how well it's made, now your nock fits the string, your release, etc. etc. etc. will all have an effect.

You'll probably have to experiment a bit so giving you a definite answer is tough. But I'd say 2016 aluminum or 60/65 wood should get you close if you use a FF string. Arrows by Kelly has a great chart to start out with also. Just don't use the Easton chart.

I see, I just never saw someone quote thier draw to the 1/4" unless they had a clicker.
