Default RE: what arrows fit me best

Well, it's near the end of the eveing and nobody is interested, but Josh. Josh, you're right. And this is why, as long as I can remember I have always been able to look at an arrow chart and move one to two arrow sizes lighter (weaker in spine) than what the charts say. I believe the charts are set up for about a 29" draw, or what they deem to be average.
Longer power stroke can get away with the chart. Shorter guy can go lighter and it may be best to find the optimum spined arrow, regardless of the chart.

Back in the 70's I was shooting a Jennings Arrowstar, 27 3/8" draw, 51lbs. The arrow I shot was a 27" X7 1614. Of all the arroows I shot out of that bow over 4 years they were the ones that fit the best. Hard to believe but true. I still have some of the many robinhoods I shot with it at distances as long as 60 yards.
