How long are your arrows? If I remember, your thread yesterday stated you had a 23 1/2" draw, correct? If so, your arrows are probably in the 22 1/2" range, yes? If so, a 500 would do fine, but nothing wrong w/ your 400's either.

RE: easton shaft selector
 

yes i do have a 23 1/2 inch draw but my arrows are 29 1/2 in. including the nock

RE: easton shaft selector
 

so what would be better a 500 or 400 i didnt even kno you can cut your arrows untill yesterday i saw the machine at the bowshop but will it affect my flight any? it will probably make my fps way faster too rite

RE: easton shaft selector
 

Why are they so long? That's 6" longer than your DL......They could be much, much shorter. Given that, you are borderline 500 and 400. Best to be overspined than under, stick w/ the 400's, or cut them down and use 500. You aren't hurting anything w/ them that long, just not necessary.

Yes, by cutting your arrows down by 5 or 6 inches, you'll lose about 40 grains of arrow weight and increase your speed by...oh......6 or 7 fps. They just don't need to be that long. Unless you plan on growing really fast and increasing your DL....

RE: easton shaft selector
 

so what do u suggest that i do buy 500 and cut them down by 5 in

thanks for all your help

also will that increase my grouping at longer distances?

RE: easton shaft selector
 

Yes, I would. But if you don't want to buy new arrows, cut the ones down you have now.

RE: easton shaft selector
 

whats DL

RE: easton shaft selector
 

WILL IT CHANGE THE PERFORMENCE AT ALL OF THE SIZE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 500 AND 400? BECAUSE I AM PLANNING TO CUT THEM AT 24 INCHES DO U THINK THAT WILL BE GOOD?

RE: easton shaft selector
 

Sorry, I take for granted folks know what that is. It stands for Draw Length.......DL....


Yes, changing could indeed enhance your performance. An arrow that is severely overspined will just not fly very good. It's a delicate balancing act, but honestly, in your case, it probably won't make such a difference you'll notice. Just cut down the ones you have.

RE: easton shaft selector
 

YEA I NOW MY BAD I DIDNT THINK HARD ENOUGH RITE AFTER I WROTE IT I REMEMBERED WHAT IT WAS.WILL IT MAKE MY GROUPING BETTER?AND WHY DO U SAY I WOULDNT HURT A THING WITH THAT?

RE: easton shaft selector
 

It may POSSIBLY make your gouping better, but the biggest impact on that is you, the shooter. Proper and consistent form are the recipe for good groups, but proper equipment plays into that as well.

What I mean is, if you cut your current arrows down, you won't be so overspined that it will work against you. An arrow that is too stiff is just as bad as an arrow that is too weak. There's a happy medium there, you gotta be in the right place. With your set up, you SHOULD be shooting 500's, ROUGHLY 22 1/2" long. I can't be sure of the length, it depends on several things that can't be determined here. By cutting your 400's down, you will stiffen them up, but they won't be too stiff. They should work fine.

OK MOBOWHUNTER I WANNA THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP

I THINK IM GONNA WIND UP BUYING SOME 500'S AND LIKE YOU SAID CUT THEM ABOUT 5 INCHES SHORTER BUT I WAS WONDERING ON EASTONS TUNE UP GUIDE IT SAYS TO CUT THE ARROW ABOUT 1 TO 2 INCHES AWAY FROM THE FRONT OF THE SHELF?SHOULD I CUT IT AT THAT LENGTH OR CUT IT AT THE LENGTH THAT U R TELLING ME

RE: easton shaft selector
 

I can't answer that w/out standing next to you looking at your set up. It depends on several things. Ask the guy at the shop to cut them at the proper length. Any shop worth their salt will do just that.

Oh, and you are most welcome. You guys are what this all about!! ;)

RE: easton shaft selector
 

YEA I HEAR U THANKS ALOT AND GOOD LUCK HUNTING

THEY HAVE THE 500'S THERE CUT THEM FOR ME AND I GET TO PICK WHAT KIND OF VANES I WANT.IM JUST GONNA GO TO THE SHOP AND ASK THEM WHAT THE LENGTH SHOULD BE SO THAT I CAN GET IT SHIPPED IN..YEZ FINALLY I GET A BRAKE I CALLED ALL THE BIG SELLERS AND NONE OF THEM SOLD THIS MODEL/...THANKS CARREER POINT HA HA HA IF YOU LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS

RE: easton shaft selector
 

Why not just order them at the shop? They'll be cheaper in the long run, once you figure in shipping, and you'll be building a relationship w/ that shop. A good relationship w/ a good pro shop is an INVALUABLE tool to have at your disposal. If I were him, I would think "Hey, this guy wants me to do the work, but spend his money somewhere else!"

Understand? Get them where you want, but I HIGHLY suggest pro shop.

RE: easton shaft selector
 

YEA SEE I KNOW THAT BUT NONE OF THE SHOPS AROUND HERE HAVE THAT ARROW AND IF THEY DO THE ONLY ON THEY CARRY IS THE 400
BUT EITHER WAY IM GOIN TO THE SHOP THURSDAY AND I NEED TO GET MY LOOP STRING ALLIGNED WITH MY WB AND THE ONLY EASTON ARROWS THEY CARRY THERE ARE AXIS BUT I DONT HAVE THAT MUCH MONEY TO BE SPENDING ON THAT
