Default RE: Newbie question on shafts

Well if you are drawing 82 lbs at 30 inches you must be a pretty big boy. You certainly don't need all that for hunting deer though. I guess if you can shoot well with it though it's your decision.

Your arrows seem way off to me however. I could not find any info for your bow, but I own a cheetah from that time so I will sort of base it on that. I'm assuming 30 inch arrows, maybe 29 inches. A medium cam set up on a bow with less than 43 inches of axle to axle and using a release. I figured it with 100 grn tips as well.

The 2216's are extremely weak, and the 2215's would be even worse. I show the 2216's spining at around 60 lbs with that draw length.

Just using the easton calculator on bowjacksons site I get 2514, 2613, 2317 and 2419. Better yet would be to run an arrow thru a chrono and use some of the archery software available today.
