What kind of recurve is it?

If you are drawing 26, subtract 2 lbs for every inch under 28. So, you are drawing 50 lbs. So you want a complete arrow weighing 450 to 550 grains.

If you're not getting the accruacy you want, make sure you are shooting the correct arrows. A 1916 aluminum at 28 bop should work well for you. Or, 50/55's at 28" bop woods will work as well. both with 125 grain points. A carbon will fall into a 35/55 at 29 bop with 150 grain point.

My 1st suggestion is make sure you have the proper brace height and nock height. The brace will fall between 7 1/2" to 8" on most recurves. If you are shooting split finger then start at 3/8" above the shelf. If you are shooting 3 under, then 1/2" to 3/4" above shelf.

2nd. At this point of the game, you should be working on nothing but your form. Shooting at 5 yards to a blank target. Make sure you are coming to a solid and consistant achor point on every shot. Hold the bow steady and at target after releasing the arrow. Next, go outside and shoot at a tennis ball. Toss it and fire two arrows at it. Repeat hundreds of times.

If you choose an aluminum or carbon, Magnus and Zwikey heads in 125 or 160 grain screw ins are awesome. If you choose cedar or a different wood shaft, Ace standard, Magnus, STOS and plenty others are great broadheads.

Quit worring about kenetic energy. If your bow and arrow set up is tuned properly, your 50 lbs bow with a 500 grain arrow will kill an Elk.

Best of luck and welcome to the traditional side.
