Default RE: Trad Bow newbie

Any arrows will do when starting out...as long as they are strait,the rule of thumb is 10 grains of total arrow weightper pound of draw on your bow, example 50#draw weight at say your drawlength is 28 inches, you would want at least a 29inch arrowwith a total weight of atleast 500 grains,you dont want to shoot an arrow much under that, heavier isO.K....dont worry about perfect arrow spineand dont get discouraged if you dont hit whatyour aiming atwhen starting, just concentrate on your form...then start shooting groups...and when you can do that ataround 15 yards...go ahead and experiment with different arrows/grain tips/bow tuningto get perfect flight....it can take some time.

id startwith a half dozen ofEaston GameGetters....
for hunting heads125grain-150 grain fixed blade, cut on contact head.
