Default RE: arrow for recurve ?

They recommend a 30" 2016 for a 30# bow, so it' s looking like they are overspined by about 20#.

Another question, is your 28-28 1/2 draw with your compound? If so, you could lose up to an inch of draw going to the recurve, but that isn' t always the case. It' s a personal thing. I lost an inch going from wheels to recurve and another 1/2" going to longbow. Also, it dawned on me that the stated bow weight was 50+, which mean that it actually can pull up to 53# @ 28" . If there is any doubt about the draw length and weight of bow at your draw, have your draw length measured on the bow and have it weighed at that measurment. I say this because if your draw is only 27" , you would probably want to go to other sized arrows, like the 1916, which spines 50-55 @ 28" length. Again, this is what I' d do if I were starting up shooting recurves.

I' m sure that someone else will chime in and offer up some of their ideas for you too. Sometimes it takes a few ideas to come up with a good course of action. Have a great day.
