I also bought the Bearhair rest and plate to give shooting off the shelf a try first. I followed their recommendation and got Easton XX75 aluminums in 2117 (400gr) and was told to use a 125gr tip if i think i may want to hunt with it in the future. I liked the idea of wood arrows for tradition or carbon for speed but the heavier aluminum would be best for hunting if thats the road I go down.
Anyone use the brass weights that you can add for extra weight?
I'm so dang excited to get it and give it a try!
Thank you everyone for your help so far. Im sure I'm going to run into questions when it comes to tuning and setting up. I'll keep everyone posted when it comes in. Thanks again!
If your going to shoot off the shelf, 2117 will be way stiff. I would consider 1913's, or even 1816's.
Really depends how the shelf is cut. If your going to use a flipper type rest, you can get by with a much stiffer arrow. I always just shoot off the shelf. I am not sure how far past center the riser is cut on the sage. If its -1/4" (cut past center) you might be ok.
