Default Poll - What arrows are you using?

Please state the arrow brand, size, length, point size in grains, poundage of your bow, and draw length. Thanks.

Bob, all my arrows are close to 30.5" BOP. All RRA tapered cedars, & all have 125 gr pts (both brd hd & target pts). My draw length is somewhere around 30" & I have too many bows. LOL!

I will soon to be shooting Easton 2114's, 29", with a glue in broadhead adapter and a 125 gr. BH. My draw is 28.74389" (he he) and my bow is 54#@28. Anybody know how much
poundage an additional .74389" of draw adds? LOL

Tox, given a steady 2 1/2# increase in draw weight per inch, your extra length would yield a whopping: 1.859725 lbs! Hehehe!! (I couldn't help that guys...LOL!!)

Vic,

You beat me to it! I was going to give him a range of 1.85973-2.23167# for a range of 2.5-3#/&quot;. I love it!

Default RE: Poll - What arrows are you using?

I shoot a checkmate recurve and lb both around 55lbs @ 32&quot; draw. I use RRA POC tapered arrows with 3-5/12&quot; high profile shield cut helical feathers. My arrows are around 32&quot; BOP and are 55-60's. I use a 125grn field point and 125 grain Steelforce Glue-on BHD. This may sound a bit weak of an arrow but i have the ability to be able to get to bare shaft alot of different spines of shafts with BHD's on them. This combination works best for me. When it comes to wood shafts its Rogue River Archery for this me all the way!.......Jaw
