Default RE: MERLIN MAX2000 CENTER SHOT?

I agree with Jerry, at 50lbs and 29" arrow you would be better to go with a 2213 or 2114 or even a 2312 with correct point weight.(I really don't like to recommend a 12-wall however, too wimpy) 2314 at that length is best-suited for 55-60lbs at that length.

Of course, if it were me, I'd opt for a ACC 3-28. But that's me.

The Bemans, CE's, and and other all-carbons are fine for certain applications and I use them myself for hunting purposes(Beman ICSCH 400) where I don't shoot thousands of repetitive shots. I find the spine doesn't hold up as well as in other materials or combos of, and the first six inches or so will wear quickly in certain backstop material after you pound them with many shots over a given amount of time also, and accuracy suffers in either case so you need to change them up more frequently than you do other shafts made from other materials. (Just my own personal findings) Have fun! Pinwheel 12
